Thief outwitted by the silent alarm

Ruckus ensured when a thief was apprehended by the traders at Bougainvillea Marg yesterday. The area is well known for its jewellery shops and has experienced thefts in the past. Three jewellers and a mobile store owner have been robbed in the course of 3 months.
Mr Rajat Zaveri was settling his accounts when a stranger armed with a switchblade entered the shop at 10 p.m. The man then ordered him to sit still while he emptied the shelves. Initially, Mr Zaveri did as he was told; he later switched on a silent alarm and alerted the other shopkeepers nearby. Within five minutes, not only did they notify the police but also beat the thief black and blue. The accused was identified as Sajjan Singh, an unemployed youth who indulged in petty thievery. The police believe that he may have some information about the series of robberies that had taken place at Bougainvillaea Marg.
