Navi Mumbai, Nov. 12 -- A 33-year-old burglar from Assam, who allegedly travelled to Mumbai every few months to break into locked houses, was arrested last week. According to the police, the accused, Mohinul Abdul Malik Islam, a resident of Hojai district in Assam, previously worked as a labourer in Navi Mumbai and was well-acquainted with the area. "Every three months, he would fly from Assam to Mumbai, target locked houses, commit burglaries, and return home with the stolen ornaments," said Senior Inspector B. Naikwadi of Nerul Police Station. The police said that on September 4 this year, burglary was reported at the Sai-Chhaya building in Sector 6, Nerul, where gold and silver jewellery worth Rs.4.95 lakh was stolen. Based on the occupant Kavita Mangesh Kadam's complaint, the police registered a case against the unidentified thief under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). With the help of CCTV footage, the police identified Islam and traced his location by tracking his mobile phone. Subsequently, he was arrested from his hideout in Masjid Bunder last week. 208 grams of gold jewellery worth Rs.12.57 lakh, linked to five burglary cases in Navi Mumbai, was also recovered from his possession. The police's investigation has revealed that Islam has 11 cases registered against him in Navi Mumbai and 22 in Thane. The police are now probing his involvement in similar offences across the region....
