Balanagar DCP PV Padmaja said the trio carried out a recce of residential colonies in secluded areas on the city outskirts and identified locked houses during the day. They returned to the areas post-midnight and broke into the houses using hand tools and burgled them. They were involved in cases in Cyberabad, including three in Dundigal police station limits.

“They are professionals in committing burglaries and targeted only houses where there was no surveillance camera. They also selected houses and industries that had no security guard,” the DCP said, adding that after committing offences, they hid the stolen booty. They were produced before a court and remanded in judicial custody.
