In the dead of night, three men stole into a bylane in Wazirabad, broke a lock and fled with six goats they packed into a small car parked a distance away — leaving the owners facing losses of Rs 2 lakh and wondering how they will celebrate Bakrid next week.
The heist in the north Delhi locality in the early hours of Monday was captured on CCTV cameras, officials said. The six goats, owned by two men, were kept in an empty plot next to their houses with a lock at the entrance. The getaway car, an i20, could not make it through the narrow lane, so the three, their faces wrapped up in mufflers, turned back only to return on foot, the CCTV footage showed. They broke the lock at the entrance with a gas cutter, took out the goats one by one and shoved them into the car parked outside the lane.
