India, July 11 -- In a gated community packed with techies and startup founders in Bengaluru's Electronics City Phase 2, residents were shocked to discover that a soft-spoken neighbour had been moonlighting as a thief, Times of India reported.

According to the report, the accused, 26-year-old Nitesh Subbu, originally from West Bengal, had been staying with his sister at GM Infinity apartment complex in Thirupalya, the same building where he quietly carried out a string of high-value thefts.
