In a case of rising lawlessness, a shocking incident of chain-snatching has been caught on camera. The incident took place in Chennai.

Sumitra(40), a resident of Ayapakkam, was walking her kid from school to home when she was targetted. As she was walking on West Thiruvallur Road at Mugappair, two masked men on a bike, snatched her chain from behind and sped away even before she could react.

The whole incident was caught on a CCTV fixed on a shop in the vicinity. The video showed the two culprits approaching the woman, before they snatched the chain, causing her to lose her balance.

A case has been registered and cops are using the CCTV visuals to compare it with pictures of repeated offenders. The incident, once again, points to the rising number of chain-snatching incidents. Crimes in the city continue to rise despite cops' claims of taking adequate measures.
