Kolkata's 'Villain Spiderman' Thief Executes Daring High-Rise Burglary
In a shocking incident that has left residents and authorities alarmed, a thief executed a daring burglary in south Kolkata's New Alipore area. The intruder, described by police as a "villain Spiderman" for his remarkable climbing skills, scaled the exterior of a high-rise residential building to steal cash and jewellery worth several lakhs of rupees.
Details of the Audacious Theft
The burglary occurred late on Tuesday night in a residential building located in O Block of New Alipore. According to police reports, the thief managed to climb all the way to the third floor of the building using walls and a rainwater pipe. From there, he gained access to a fourth-floor apartment, where he stole a bag containing valuable items.
Officers from the New Alipore police station confirmed that a formal complaint has been filed and an investigation has been initiated. "This was a highly skilled and risky operation," one officer noted. "The way he scaled the building reminds us of a movie character, hence the nickname."
Second Attempt Proves Successful
Sources close to the investigation revealed that this theft was actually the second attempt by the same perpetrator. In the first attempt, the accused had scaled the building to the second floor but left without taking anything significant. This time, however, his persistence paid off with a substantial haul.
The detective department has joined the probe, bringing additional resources and expertise to the case. Investigators are working on multiple fronts to apprehend the suspect and understand the full scope of the crime.
Comprehensive Investigation Underway
Police have launched a comprehensive investigation that includes:
- Checking CCTV footage from the building and surrounding lanes
- Tracing the suspect's movements before and after the incident
- Examining all possible entry and exit points
- Interviewing residents and security staff in the area
"We are leaving no stone unturned in this investigation," an investigating officer stated. "The brazen nature of this crime requires an equally determined response from law enforcement."
Community Concerns and Safety Implications
The incident has raised serious concerns about security in high-rise residential buildings. Residents are questioning how someone could scale multiple floors undetected and execute such a theft. The nickname "villain Spiderman" reflects both the criminal's extraordinary climbing ability and the cinematic quality of the crime.
This burglary comes at a time when Kolkata residents are already concerned about various safety issues, adding to the urgency of the police investigation. The successful apprehension of the perpetrator will be crucial for restoring community confidence in residential security measures.
