Six shops at Colaba Causeway were robbed in a span of five days, despite the stores being metres away from the local Colaba police station. The reason? The police are unable to see any suspicious activity around the shops, since the hawkers at Causeway have put up plastic sheets to cover their wares, which blocks their view.

Police say they are not able to see anything happening near the shops, as these plastic sheets put up by hawkers block their vision. Pic/Sameer Markande
