Powai police arrested Shailesh Gangurde, a 44-year-old delivery boy working with a food app, for stealing expensive gadgets from the residence of a software engineer. The software engineer, living with roommates, left the door open briefly on July 2, during which his MacBook Pro (Rs 2 lakh) and a friend’s iPhone 15 (Rs 60,000) were stolen.
Police reviewed nearby CCTV footage and identified Gangurde, who was traced to Ghatkopar and arrested. Investigations revealed that Gangurde had committed six other similar offences, mostly in Powai, by stealing valuables from homes where doors were left unlocked during deliveries. Stolen goods worth Rs 2.8 lakh have been recovered.
