What does the CCTV footage show?
The women in the CCTV footage were seen checking nameplates and also trying to lock doors from the outside.
“2.30 am last night. 2 young, educated girls entered & recorded themselves trying to lock the doors & ring the bells of houses multiple times, in my building, which has mostly 55+ & senior residents, & a history of previous incidents. They knew CCTVs were present,” Shresht said in his X post.
“Our bldg is an old G+2 one. Last few years, our bldg & Juhu Scheme have had multiple robbery attempts, electrical fires & even murders in the vicinity. The building folk have had to run out into the compound in the middle of the night, multiple times,” he added.
He said that at 2.30 am, multiple doorbells “freaked my mum and me out”. CCTV had a memory issue so it was ‘offline’. No one could be seen from the windows.
“I fixed the CCTV in the morning. Surprisingly, there were 2 girls, seemingly drunk, spotting the CCTV, yet they proceed to go upstairs, check name plates, try & latch the doors from out, and continuously ring on doors,” he said.
He said that the residents were surprised as the women seemed unaware of the presence of security cameras, still they continued their acts brazenly.
"Normally, I would have ignored this. However, this girl is proudly recording herself despite acknowledging the cameras. I’m pretty sure they thought this was super cool," Shresht said.
He also shared two more videos of the CCTV showing the two women “acknowledging the CCTV cameras”.
