A patrolling team from V P Road police station foiled a potential burglary at a jewellery shop in Girgaon after they followed a sound and arrested a 28-year-old suspect on the night of December 10. The man was allegedly trying to enter the shop and had nearly dug a hole in a wall, said the police.

The team was out on the street around 1 am when they made the interception. “The team was near Nagindas building when they heard some construction noise like someone hammering on a wall. The cops got suspicious and tried to find out its source,” said Hemant Bawdhankar, senior inspector of the police station.
