Suspected drug addicts damage vehicles in Kalwa's Ganpati Pada area; cops begin probe

Unidentified persons, suspected to be drug addicts, vandalized at least 10 cars parked along the road in Ganpati Pada in Thane's Kalwa area on Friday morning, a police official said.

The incident is the third of its kind in the locality in the past few days, leaving residents angry, several of whom protested in front of Kalwa police station demanding immediate arrest of the accused.

Ganpati Pada is on the border with Navi Mumbai, and faces a crunch of parking spaces, due to which most vehicles are kept along public roads, the Kalwa police station official added.

''The windshields and windows of around 10 cars, including several expensive luxury models, were completely smashed. Residents have told us they suspect drug addicts who roam around in the area. A non-cognisable report (NCR) has been registered and efforts are on to nab those involved,'' he said.
