Two thieves robbed two houses in Sudheendra Nagar in Dahisar and fled with the loot in front of one of the owners' eyes last week. The first incident took place in Sai Chhaya society where the thieves allegedly broke in Dhondu Manjrekar's (64) flat. Manjrekar had gone to his native place with his wife when the theft took place. The thieves looted cash and jewellery worth Rs 5-6 lakh approx which was kept for Manjrekar's son Siddhesh's wedding next year.

The second robbery took place in the same building when they entered the ground floor flat of Darji family. 44-year-old Prakash Darji had come home at 12.15 am after dinner with wife Urvashi and son Siddhesh. He asked them to go inside while he was parking the car. The thieves were in the middle of the act when they realised that the Darjis were home. When the thieves saw Urvashi and Siddhesh, they ran towards them with a hammer in his hand. Both the mother and son got scared and in the meanwhile, the thieves ran away with their loot in front of their eyes.
