The Bhandup police have mobilised several teams to nab a suspect who burgled 58 iPhones worth Rs 52.7 lakh from a Maple shop. The matter came to light on June 20, when a Maple official reported the burglary of Apple products from the shop at Runwal Greens, Nahur West, to the Bhandup police station.
The information about the burglary was given to the police by Maan Talreja, 26, the store manager of Maple. As per the FIR, the employees of the store had shut the shop at around 10.30 pm on June 19. The next day on June 20, Talreja received a call from an employee identified as Akash Gouda who was first to discover the break-in when he had gone to open the shop at 10.30 am.

Talreja and other employees had reached the shop at around 12.30 pm.
