Two bike-borne youths snatched a gold chain worth 60,000 from a 35-year-old homemaker in Salt Lake on Thursday morning, two days after a Bangalore-based woman was robbed in the township in similar fashion. Around 7.30 am at BG block, Keshtopur resident Sujata Dey was walking home after dropping her son in school when the youths, wearing full-mask helmets that covered their faces, snatched the chain from behind and sped away. “I was walking back towards the Keshtopur footbridge, talking with a friend, when I felt a tug at my neck. Within moments, my chain was in the hands of the pillion rider. We ran for a distance chasing them but they soon took a sharp turn and we lost them”, Dey said. She said she couldn’t take down the bike’s registration number. “I can only recall that it was orange,” she said. Dey dialled 100, the police helpline, from her cellphone. She was directed to lodge a complaint with Bidhannagar East police station. On Tuesday morning, two bike-borne youths had snatched a chain from Papiya Roy Chowdhury near her home in AE block. The back-to-back snatchings have prompted township residents to demand stricter policing. “Salt Lake is becoming unsafe. Criminals are robbing residents at will. The police should take strict measures,” said Sreemoyee Sen, a resident of AB block.
