- Investigators scanned footage from more than 250 CCTV cameras and tracked the suspect’s movement across nearly 10 kilometres to build leads for a raid.
- Officers raided a Madanpur Khadar hideout on May 22 and arrested 28-year-old Sanwara Gujjar alias Sunil, who police say confessed and guided them to the loot.
- The team recovered a substantial portion of the stolen items, including a diamond watch valued at about Rs 12 lakh, a Tag Heuer worth about Rs 3 lakh, several pieces of diamond and gold jewellery, and Rs 3.57 lakh in cash.
- Police say the accused used daytime recce and occasional work as a gardener to identify locked houses, and an earlier theft case with a non-bailable warrant issued on April 10 is now being linked as investigators chase receivers and pursue legal action.
