**New Trick in Pune: Burglars Spray CCTV Cameras, Target Homes in Pimple Nilakh & Vishal Nagar**
Residents of Pimple Nilakh and Vishal Nagar in the Pimpri-Chinchwad area have expressed growing worries over the increasing number of criminal activities in their neighborhoods. Over the past few days, there have been multiple reports of burglaries, chain snatching incidents, and other theft-related crimes.
According to residents, unidentified groups have been seen roaming the streets of Pimple Nilakh and Vishal Nagar during daytime hours. These individuals appear to be conducting reconnaissance to identify potential properties to target at night.
One disturbing method being employed by these burglars is the use of a special spray that temporarily disables CCTV cameras. This spray damages the cameras’ vision capture, rendering them ineffective for approximately half an hour — ample time for the criminals to carry out their activities and flee the scene undetected.
Additionally, the burglars are reportedly using innovative, noise-free techniques to forcibly open doors, minimizing the chance of drawing unwanted attention.
Residents have noted that attempted robberies are occurring almost daily in the area over the past few months, intensifying their concerns and calling for increased police vigilance.
