Phagwara police have arrested two individuals in connection with an attempted theft after a prompt response to a complaint from a local resident.
SP Phagwara, Madhvi Sharma, said the complainant, Sodhi Singh of Khalwara Gate, Phagwara, manages the property of NRI Gurmeet Singh, who resides in England. The incident occurred while Sodhi Singh was working in nearby agricultural fields.
He reported hearing suspicious noises from inside the locked house. Acting quickly, he and his son, Amritpal Singh, reached the property and found two youths attempting to flee with stolen items. The suspects were carrying a sack filled with broken aluminium pieces, which they were trying to remove by scaling the boundary wall.
The complainant and his son successfully apprehended the accused and informed the police. The arrested individuals have been identified as Suraj Paswan, originally from Amritsar and currently residing in Basant Nagar, Phagwara, and Sarab, a resident of Hadiabad near Kashi Atta Chakki, Phagwara.
Police officers arrived promptly and took the accused into custody along with the recovered stolen material. A case has been registered, and further investigation is underway to determine if the suspects were involved in similar incidents in the area.
