Two women, a boy and a girl are behind a wave of thefts that occurred between Dadar and Byculla over the past few weeks, the police have said. The unlikely gang used to target households that left doors ajar between 6 am and 8 am for milkmen and newspaper delivery boys. The Dadar police on Monday night arrested a woman, believed the gang leader.
The police said the gang comprises a woman in her mid-thirties, a girl of 18-20, a 10-year-old boy and a girl who is 10 to 12 years old. They mostly struck at chawls and societies without security guards.
An officer said a lot of people keep their doors open in the morning as they wait for milk and newspaper vendors and garbage collectors. “The gang would take advantage of that and sneak inside when the family members are busy sleeping or in the other room. Within seconds, they would flee with mobile phones, cash, gold or any other valuable that came their way,” said an officer.
