A masked man broke into Sri Bhavani Mata Temple in Sangareddy district early on August 8 and stole a donation box containing about Rs 20,000, Sadashivpet Police told Siasat.com. CCTV footage showed him forcing open the door and casually walking out with the hundi.

In a separate incident in Hyderabad’s Jeedimetla, a man was caught on CCTV at 5 am on August 7 stealing a milk crate from outside a shop. He was seen talking on his phone before looking around and taking the crate. Petbasheerabad police registered a case under Section 305 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Both suspects are absconding.

Petty thefts like these are often dismissed, but they reflect how easily people gamble with the law over small gains. Catching the accused matters more than the value stolen. The real test will be whether police, armed with clear CCTV footage, can arrest both men in the coming days. If not, it will only encourage more such brazen thefts.
