Duo who used to steal from high-rises by scaling the wall has fallen into the police’s net after one of the accused lost grip and fell. One of the accused was arrested from the spot while the other was nabbed later. With their arrest, cops claim to have solved multiple cases of house break-ins in the northern suburbs in recent months.

The incident took place on February 10 when the two accused—Ayan Shaikh, 19, and Abdul Idrees Shaikh, 35—were scaling the wall of a Goregaon high-rise after breaking into a closed flat. Ayan lost grip, fell and injured his leg. The watchman rushed to spot after hearing the sound but could only nab Ayan while Abdul fled. The watchman then informed Goregaon police.
