HYDERABAD: Cash and electronic goods worth over Rs. 10 lakhs were stolen by thieves from a shop at Nalgonda crossroads early on Sunday.
The incident sent policemen into a tizzy as the burglary was committed bang on the main road and hardly a km away from Chaderghat police station.
Thieves gained entry into PCH-e-Zone electronics shop by lifting its shutter and stole Rs. 3.5 lakhs in cash and electrical goods worth Rs. 6.5 lakhs.
According to shop managing director Balvinder Singh, the theft was noticed by security guard Ram Singh at 7.30 a.m. who alerted him.
After collecting fingerprints from the shop, the police came to a conclusion that a gang headed by Nayeemuddin alias Maruthi Nayeem had committed the offence.
"The theft was committed by Nayeem and his associates who are famous for striking at shops by lifting the shutters with an iron rod," a police official said.
Additional Commissioner of Police (Crimes) Rajiv Trivedi said that Nayeem, a resident of Rein Bazar, was involved in a series of robberies, thefts and vehicle lifting cases in the twin cities. He was elusive after being released on bail a few months ago.
Meanwhile, the Chaderghat police picked up Ram Singh for questioning as he was reportedly not present at the shop after 12.30 a.m. Special teams have been formed to trace Nayeem and his associates. The gang committed a similar offence at Sultan Bazar recently.
