Good worth Rs6.6 lakh stolen from Thane computer store

Some unidentified miscreants broke into a computer showroom in Thane's Charai area on Monday night and decamped with laptops and chargers worth Rs6,67,263. The theft was discovered after the showroom owner, a resident of Kasarwadavali, reached the shop on Tuesday morning.

The 38-year-old businessman then reported the incident to the Naupada police. Meanwhile, cops haven taken the CCTV camera footage and are investigating further. Reportedly, the accused had conducted a recce before committing the theft.

"We have registered the case under section 457 (house breaking ar night) and 380 (theft) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC)," said investigation officer AD Gangawane.
