Sources said the theft took place on the intervening night of June 16 and 17 and the complainant came to know about it on checking the footage of CCTV cameras installed at his the house. Though the miscreants also took along CCTV cameras installed inside the house, they failed to notice that cameras were installed outside the house as well.

The complainant checked the footage of those cameras and found that three miscreants committed the theft in the house between 1.15 am and 2.30 am.

The complainant reported the matter to the police through phone after which police teams visited the house for inspection. The same day, Satinder sent his complaint through an email to the Chandigarh Police. However, the police are yet to register a case at the Sector 11 police station.

Inspector Lakhbir Singh, SHO Sector 11 police station when contacted said that they have received the complaint from Public Window of UT police a day back. “We will investigate in the complaint and then do the needful”, he added.
