**Notorious Burglar Arrested in Indore; Confesses to 31 Thefts Across Multiple States**
Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Police have arrested a notorious burglar involved in multiple thefts across several states, including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Haryana, officials confirmed on Monday. The accused has confessed to committing 31 burglaries, with stolen property worth approximately Rs 1 crore recovered from him.
The case came to light when complainant Piyush Grover reported a burglary at his residence in the Vijay Nagar area on the night of June 9–10. The burglar stole gold and silver ornaments along with cash totaling Rs 31.5 lakh.
Following the complaint, police reviewed footage from nearly 600 CCTV cameras, which pointed to the involvement of a single individual. Acting on a tip-off, officers arrested Vijendra, also known as Suresh Singh Jagirdar, hailing from Bhidawas village in Jhajjar district, Haryana. The arrest took place in Amravati, Maharashtra.
During the arrest, police recovered 550 grams of gold, Rs 5 lakh in cash, and a car from Vijendra’s possession. Upon interrogation, he revealed a criminal history that includes multiple jail terms related to theft and drug trafficking.
Vijendra reportedly preferred to operate alone, believing that working without accomplices lowered his risk of getting caught. His modus operandi included using public transportation for travel, avoiding mobile phone use during crimes, and targeting isolated houses outside his native region.
**Clever Tactics to Evade Police**
To stay off the radar, Vijendra avoided staying in hotels requiring identification. Instead, he frequently changed residences and used multiple SIM cards. He even relied on internet dongles rather than mobile SIMs to minimize traceability.
At the time of his arrest, Vijendra was residing with his wife and son in Mangal Residency, Amravati, Maharashtra. Police added that he reportedly spent the proceeds from his crimes on liquor, opium, and luxury cars.
Authorities continue to investigate the case to uncover any further connections or accomplices.
