<p>The incident unfolded on September 11 when a <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-crime-tech-firm-cheated-out-of-rs-40-lakh-23310999" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Mahakali area</a> resident reported the theft of his laptop. CCTV footage helped in identifying the culprit, who resided in Subhash Nagar. Armed with this information, the police established a trap in the vicinity, leading to Thorve's arrest and recovery of stolen items worth Rs 7.68 lakh.</p>

His modus operandi typically involves entering through bathroom windows by removing the glass and exiting through the main door after stealing valuables.</p>
<p>In addition to the laptop theft in the MIDC area, Thorve had also stolen mobile phones and cameras from a residence in the Meghwadi area. His intention was to sell the stolen cameras in Bandra.</p><p>
