A spate of robberies across the city with striking similarities in the modus operandi have led the police to believe that they could be the handiwork of a single gang.

The local police as well as the anti-robbery cell of Mumbai crime branch probing the various theft cases across the city are ascertaining whether the same people are behind the crimes.

According to an officer from the anti-robbery cell, a specific pattern has emerged from three cases in past one month – murder of a senior citizen from Navghar and robbery at her home, attack on a woman in MIDC in broad daylight and the recent Kalachowky incident where the victim was assaulted and robbed.

The officer, who did not wish to be named, said that in all the cases the attackers approached their victims when they were alone at home and managed to enter the houses without using any force before striking.

"Once they enter the house, they assault the victim and tie his/her hands and legs and then make off with cash and other valuables," he said. The officer added that they were hopeful of cracking the cases soon.
