Noida: Residents of highrise societies in Noida Extension area have taken to Twitter to complain about repeated cases of vehicle thefts in the area.

While on May 19, an Alto 800 was stolen from near Ryan International School, Tech Zone-IV, a Hyundai car was stolen from near Cherry County. A WagonR was stolen on May 6.
FIRs have been lodged for 15 vehicles, residents alleged that there are some cases where no FIR has been lodged yet.
Jameel Rehman, a resident of Arihant Arden Society, said his car was parked outside a restaurant.
Some people allegedly stole his bag kept inside the car that had his iPad and some important documents.
“The police have been informed about the incident on 100 number. @sspnoida Please have a look at these numbers. @shobisrakhgbn In the past 15 days, these are the written FIRs filed. Apart from this, FIRs about theft of mobile, purse, chain loot are also filed. @CO3GreaterNoida @spranoida Please instruct to take strict action in the same @dmgbnagar,” tweeted Manish Kumar.
SP (rural) Vineet Jaiswal said vehicle theft was a problem in Greater Noida area and several recoveries have been made in the past.
Bisrakh police station SHO Manoj Pathak told TOI that it seems thieves come into the locality from neighbouring districts like Hapur and Ghaziabad.
“We have made recoveries in the past. A truck and two bikes were recovered. There has been shortage of force due to elections. But things will improve as the force is returning,” he said.
