Kochi: Delhi’s infamous “Bunty Chor”, who committed over 500 burglaries across the country, has struck in Kerala, police said yesterday.
Devinder Singh, alias Bunty Chor, reportedly broke into a high security home with latest electronic surveillance devices in the early hours of January 21 and drove off with a new SUV worth Rs2.8m, a laptop and two mobile phones. The house belongs to Venugopalan Nair, a businessman in the UAE. The house had several closed circuit cameras, a security alarm and windows with bullet-proof glasses. Nair had switched off the alarm close to midnight before he, his wife and two children went to sleep. When they woke up, the SUV was gone, a bullet-proof glass had been removed and some cameras lay broken.
However, some cameras had recorded a well-dressed man in the house at night. After his picture was flashed on TV channels, a manager of a hotel identified him as a man who had stayed in the hotel for two days. IANS
