Motive Disclosed During Interrogation
During custodial questioning, the trio admitted to their involvement in the logistics and execution of the warehouse robbery. Investigators revealed that one of the minors had alleged he was under sustained social pressure from his partner (girlfriend) to gift her an iPhone. Lacking the independent financial means to make the purchase, he planned the burglary alongside his associates. "The accused admitted that the theft was committed to arrange money for purchasing iPhones for their girlfriends," stated Santosh Kumar Ramlod, Police Sub-Inspector at Kalamna Police Station, confirming the unusual motive behind the operation.
The Kalamna police station has reported the recovery of the stolen sanitary hardware. Legal proceedings against the adult accused and relevant juvenile justice documentation for the minors are currently being compiled as the comprehensive investigation continues.
