Bengaluru Techie Quits Job To Turn 'Full-Time Thief'; Arrested
The police apprehended a 26-year-old woman for allegedly stealing 24 laptops worth Rs 10 lakh.

Many people who find their 9–5 occupations unsatisfactory often look for alternative sources of income. Some people have made amazing feats after leaving their jobs. Most individuals have intricate plans for what they are going to do. While some people are driven to succeed, others are only interested in easy cash. But what is the most absurd thing one may do for quick money? Well, this techie from Noida decided to become a “full-time thief.”

HAL police apprehended a 26-year-old woman for allegedly stealing 24 laptops worth Rs 10 lakh from PG accommodations and software businesses in Bengaluru. The incident came to light after a resident of the PG reported the missing belongings and HAL police used CCTV camera video and other evidence to locate the suspect.

Then on March 26, Jassi Agarwal, a B.Tech graduate, was arrested.

The Hindu reports that during a police probe, it was found that Jassi had worked for some time at a private bank before staying a few days in a PG.

Before breaking into the other residents’ rooms and stealing their laptops and other valuables, she would wait for them to take a food break. After that, she would resell the stolen goods on her hometown’s black market.

She would shift into another PG to carry out the same action when she got back to Bengaluru. Police informed The Hindu that she quit working around a year ago and concentrated mainly on “stealing expensive electronics.”

In yet another ridiculous theft instance that surfaced last year, Indian Oil was taken aback when it learned that oil valued at lakhs had been stolen from one of its pipes in Dwarka’s village of Pochanpur. According to authorities, the accused—who was taken into custody—had dug a 40-meter tunnel through which he had been stealing oil since June.

According to M Harsha Vardhan, the deputy commissioner of police in Dwarka, many devices utilised in the crime were found at the scene of the theft. The police were notified by the IOCL official of their suspicions regarding oil theft in the region and both agencies then increased technical surveillance.

The culprit, according to Delhi Police, was constantly taking oil out of the IOCL pipeline, which is located two metres below the ground. The accused allegedly dug up a 40–45 m tunnel next to an underground pipeline that exited into a nearby land, using which he diverted another pipe to take the oil, according to the charges.

According to police, it was discovered that the oil had been stolen by the owner of the site where the tunnel was located.
