Capital shame: Cops missing as criminals stalk apartments

WITH criminals on the prowl, it seems even gated communities in Bhubaneswar are not safe, let alone residential colonies.

Four armed burglars proved that when they roamed freely across all the floors of an apartment in Pahala area for about 30 minutes on the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday.

The anti-socials left after not finding any locked flat in the four-storeyed building. The CCTV footage of the weapon-wielding miscreants easily accessing Usha Enclave went viral, but the police are still clueless. In the video clip, the criminals can be seen holding sharp weapons and checking each flat on all the floors of the apartment.
