    The CCTV camera installed there captured the burglars dancing on the street before breaking the shutters, he said.

     
     

    During investigation, it was revealed that the accused used an autorickshaw with a tri-colour design at its rear. Further investigation was carried out on the basis of this clue, the officer said.
