Rajkot: A woman who sat thousands of miles away in the US helped thwart theft efforts at his father’s shop in Rajkot on Wednesday night, thanks to CCTV connected to his cellphone.
Kalu Mehta, who has a garment store in Kuvadva Road, has established a camera in the store and gives a direct link from the recording to his daughter Krutika who settled in the US after marriage.
Around 3 in the morning Ist, he saw on his cellphone that some unknown people moved inside the store.
They are looking for something using a torch.
KrouTika immediately called her father and family rushed to the store.
They watched a man standing outside and struggling, but he managed to escape from there.
Two other people in the shop also managed to escape, hearing the commotion outside.
Family members cannot pursue them.
After they told the police, the police verified and learned that the thief had penetrated around 13 shops in the same area in one night.
Even though there is no cash loss or valuables, people have started recording the owner’s statement.
“We tried to ascertain whether this thief was the same as other stores.
A violation will be immediately submitted,” said the Kuvadva police officer.
The police have started scanning CCTV recordings to get more instructions.
