CHAIN CHORS TARGET MORNING WALKERS

WOMEN AND SENIOR CITIZENS PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE

As winter sets in, Ahmedabad is experiencing a noticeable chill in the early mornings. This seasonal change has, unfortunately, provided an opportunity for chain snatchers, who are now targeting elderly residents during their morning and evening walks.

With gold prices at an all-time high, even a modest chain can be worth lakhs of rupees. According to police sources, this lucrative incentive has emboldened chain snatchers. They often target the elderly, perceiving them as easy prey who are less likely to resist.
