Burglary in Closed Factory in Faridkot: Thieves Break Wall, Steal Machinery Worth ₹7 Lakh

Faridkot : A shocking burglary took place in a closed factory in Faridkot, where thieves broke through the wall and stole machinery and goods worth ₹7 lakh. The incident has left the factory owner in shock, as the stolen equipment included essential machines and valuable raw materials.

According to police reports, the factory had been shut for some time, making it an easy target for thieves. The culprits carefully planned the theft, creating an opening in the factory’s wall to gain entry. They systematically removed the machinery and transported it without raising any suspicion. The theft was discovered when the owner visited the site and found a large section of the wall broken and the premises emptied of expensive equipment.

The factory owner immediately reported the incident to the police, who have started an investigation. Authorities are examining nearby CCTV footage to track down any suspects. Initial findings suggest that the burglary was carried out by a well-organized gang familiar with the factory’s layout and operations.

This incident has raised concerns among local business owners, who are now demanding increased security measures in industrial areas. Many fear that the lack of surveillance in closed or underutilized factories makes them prime targets for such crimes.

Police have assured that all efforts are being made to identify and arrest the culprits. They have urged factory owners to install security cameras and conduct regular inspections to prevent similar incidents.

As the investigation continues, the authorities are hopeful that the culprits will be caught soon, and the stolen items recovered. Meanwhile, business owners in Faridkot remain on high alert, reinforcing security in their premises to avoid becoming the next target.
