Two Thieves Trapped Inside Closed Surat Factory After Entering To Steal, Rescued By Fire Brigade

Two thieves who entered a closed factory in Surat’s Khatodara area to steal got trapped inside the premises and were eventually rescued by the fire brigade on Sunday evening.

They Entered Factory During Sunday Holiday

According to the information provided, 18-year-old Roshan Sahani, a resident of Ashapuri Society in Pandesara, went to the factory with a minor accomplice on September 27.

The two allegedly targeted a closed factory on Bamroli Road in Khatodara GIDC, taking advantage of the Sunday holiday.

After entering the premises, they began looking for goods to steal. However, while moving around inside the factory, they lost track of the route they had used to enter and could not find a way out.

Trapped for Hours, Thieves Began Shouting for Help

The two reportedly spent hours trying to locate the exit but were unsuccessful.

As they became frightened about being trapped inside, they reached a window on the third floor. They then saw people passing outside and began shouting loudly for help.

Their cries attracted the attention of people in the surrounding area. The locals informed the police control room about the incident.

Fire Brigade Cuts Window Bars

Police reached the factory and found the two men trapped on the third floor. The factory was closed, leaving them unable to get out through the usual route.

The police called the fire department for assistance. A fire brigade team arrived at the spot and began the rescue operation.

Firefighters cut the bars of the third-floor window and brought both of them out of the factory safely.

Khatodara police have registered a case against Roshan Sahani and his minor accomplice. Further action in the case is underway.
