CCTV footage shows the burglar in a PPE kit and carrying two bags.
Police said the accused first entered a flat by breaking the lock. He then went to the terrace and crossed the roof of three buildings.
The jewellery store is located in Block H of Kalkaji and armed men guard it.
Wearing a PPE kit makes it almost impossible to identify the man as he cannot be recognised. No doubt that is what the thief had in mind. He decided to use that to his advantage.
As life is returning to normal slowly post-pandemic, even thieves have started to resume their professions at a huge rate. This heist just shows the length they will go to.
