Techie From Bengaluru Resigns From Work To Become “Full-Time Thief”; Arrested

Many individuals who are dissatisfied with their 9–5 jobs often search for other sources of income. Some have achieved incredible things after quitting their careers. The majority of people make elaborate plans for their future actions.

While some individuals are motivated to achieve, others are only out to get quick money. But what is the most ridiculous thing someone might do to get money quickly? This Noida IT enthusiast made the decision to become a “full-time thief.”

A 26-year-old woman was arrested by HAL police for reportedly stealing 24 computers from software companies and PG hostels in Bengaluru, with a total estimated value of Rs 10 lakh. After a PG resident reported stolen items, the event was discovered, and HAL police located the offender using CCTV footage and other evidence.

Then, B.Tech graduate Jassi Agarwal was taken into custody on March 26.

According to The Hindu, Jassi had previously worked for a while at a private bank before spending a few days in a PG. This information was discovered following a police investigation.

She would wait for the other tenants to go for a meal break before breaking into their rooms and taking their computers and other belongings. She would then resell the stolen items on the underground market in her hometown.

When she returned to Bengaluru, she would move to another PG and repeat the same process. She stopped working around a year ago, according to police, and focused mostly on “stealing expensive electronics,” The Hindu was told.

Another absurd theft incident arose last year, when Indian Oil was shocked to find that oil worth lakhs had been stolen from one of their pipelines in the hamlet of Pochanpur near Dwarka. The culprit, who was arrested, was said to have created a 40-meter tunnel through which he had been stealing oil since June, according to the police.

The Dwarka deputy commissioner of police, M. Harsha Vardhan, claims that many gadgets used in the heist were discovered at the location. The IOCL representative informed the police of their concerns about oil theft in the area, and both organizations subsequently raised technological surveillance.

The Delhi Police said that the offender was continuously withdrawing oil from the IOCL pipeline, which is situated two meters below the surface. According to the allegations, the accused reportedly built out a 40–45 m tunnel close to an underground pipeline that exited onto a neighboring area, and he utilized that tunnel to divert another pipe to extract the oil.

The owner of the property where the tunnel was situated was found to have stolen the oil, according to the police.
