Petty crimes are showing an alarming increase, as per police reports. Only a few months ago, a person was arrested in Surat for stealing gas cylinders on a large scale. The man was caught after the police launched a massive hunt for the accused following frequent missing of gas cylinders from the houses of residents.
When questioned, the thief told the police that he used duplicate keys to open the doors of houses when the residents were away and steal gas cylinders but no other valuables. The high price of these cylinders in the market had turned the thief towards these robberies, sources said.
