In repeated burglary cakewalks, thieves have been raiding a Nadiad confectionery, Krishna Dairy Products, and have had criminally sweet success 10 times in nine years. The shop’s owner, Mukesh Pandit, 44, said the burglars seem to treat money only as a light dessert. “Most of the time, thieves took some cash but loads of mithai – to the tune of quintals,” he said.Pandit, who opened the shop in 2015, told TOI, “I filed complaints three times. Police merely made ‘janva jog’ (station diary entries). None of the burglaries were cracked.” He installed CCTVs to signal the sour consequences of pilferage, but burglars thought the digital video recorder is the cherry on top of their booty and nicked that too. “Before I could reinstall CCTVs, burglars struck again,” Pandit said. “I have done everything to stop burglaries, from putting up iron grills to placing high-tech cameras.” “A point outside my shop has a police picket. But during VVIP visits and festivals, the cops leave to join bandobusts. The burglaries occur on these days,” he said. The latest theft was on Nov 30, during which burglars stole 12kg of kaju katri worth Rs 12,000, 73.5kg of mixed mawa sweets worth Rs 38,200, and 35kg of shrikhand worth Rs 13,300. Other purloined items were mixed biscuits worth Rs 15,000, 70kg of namkeen worth Rs 16,800, and Rs 3,500 in cash. The total loss from the break-in was Rs 98,800, Pandit said.
