In a bizarre and unsettling incident, a thief in Visakhapatnam has shocked local residents by entering homes unclothed during the night to carry out thefts. The unusual pattern came to light after CCTV footage from a residence in the city captured a naked individual sneaking into a house with the apparent intention of stealing valuables.

The incident, which took place in a residential neighborhood, has left citizens both alarmed and puzzled. According to local reports, this is not an isolated case, and similar complaints have emerged from nearby areas. The thief, who conceals his identity by operating unclothed during the night, seems to believe this tactic helps avoid identification and detection.

Visakhapatnam city police have initiated an investigation and have started scanning CCTV footage from surrounding areas to track the suspect’s movements. Officials have also urged residents to remain vigilant and ensure all security systems, such as locks and surveillance cameras, are in working condition.

"We are treating the matter seriously. Multiple teams have been formed to trace the suspect and prevent further incidents,” a police spokesperson said.

This peculiar crime has not only stirred public concern but also sparked conversations online, with many expressing disbelief at the audacity and oddity of the thefts.

Authorities request anyone with relevant information or suspicious footage to report it to the nearest police station.
