The complainant, a resident of Grilahakshmi Layout, had locked his house on the night of June 10, 2014, and traveled to his daughter's house in America. Two days later, he was alerted by his brother in Bengaluru about a malfunctioning CCTV camera at his house.

This operation uncovered three day and night theft cases under Peenya Police Station limits. The arrested individuals had a history of similar offenses.
