Nagpur.
The Analysis of Crime in India says that poverty and greed has contributed towards the increase in crimes like Dacoity, Theft, Robbery and Burglary. Though dacoity and burglary have reduced over years, theft and robbery have increased, which clearly shows that the type of crimes committed have changed and there is no actual reduction.
Nagpur city too has a fair share to contribute to the national statistics. In two unrelated cased registered from January 28-30, 2015, the burglars managed to loot ornaments, goods and cash collectively Rs 404300/- (Rs Four lakhs four thousand three hundred).
