Two families in the localities of Thane, Mumbai were looted by 9 dacoits at knife-point and were threatened that if they approach Police, they will be killed and warned the families that they come back after two days.

Around 2:45 a.m on Saturday eight people shoved in to Mr. Anil Gaikwad's house with knife, wooden and steel rods, stone. He further said, "“Eight dacoits entered the house, while one was standing outside. They took away 14 tola of gold, R15,000 cash and two mobile phones. Before leaving they locked the house from outside. They even threatened to kill us if we approached the police."

Another house was robbed at the other side of the road where Akshay Chaudhary resided along with five others. "At first we thought that the person who was knocking on the door was my father as he stays nearby. But then the robbers broke open the door to enter the house. Brandishing a knife, they made away with jewellery worth Rs 5 lakh, Rs 75,000 cash and five mobile phones." he said.

He added, “My family is extremely scared after the incident. My brother’s wife, who is pregnant, was so shocked that she had to be admitted to the hospital. We are planning to return to our village. A couple of minutes after the incident, we spotted a police car in the locality. We tried calling them but did not get any response.”

Senior police inspector said, “We have beefed up security in the area. The CCTV footages are also being checked. Hunt for the accused is on. A case has been registered under section 452 (house-trespass after preparation for hurt, assault or wrongful restraint) and 395 (dacoity) of IPC.”
