A 23-year-old IT employee was arrested for stealing three mobile phones, including an iPhone, from a private IT company in Thoraipakkam. Police recovered all three phones and seized a two-wheeler used in the crime.
The complainant, Rohan (27) of Chinnasekkadu, Manali, works at the IT firm where employees usually leave their mobile phones on a shelf outside the office before entering. On November 19, he found that his iPhone and two other phones kept on the shelf had gone missing.
Based on his complaint, the Thoraipakkam Crime Wing registered a case and arrested the suspect, Vijaykumar (23) of Korukkupet. Police said he had previously worked at the same IT company and was aware of the practice of storing phones outside the office.
Taking advantage of the unlocked shelf, Vijaykumar allegedly stole the phones. After inquiry, police recovered all three phones and seized the two-wheeler used for the offence.
