A court here has found two men guilty in a theft case involving the stealing of water motors from a southwest Delhi home, with the conviction secured within 29 days of the offence, police said on Wednesday.

The accused, Prince and Gautam, were convicted by a Dwarka court on June 9 for stealing two water motors from the Raj Nagar area in Palam.

Police said an e-FIR was registered on May 12 after the theft was reported. During the investigation, a team developed leads through local enquiries and technical analysis, leading to the arrest of both accused on May 30.

“During interrogation, the accused disclosed their involvement in the case. The investigation was backed by CCTV footage, recovery of stolen property, seizure of the vehicle and other technical and documentary evidence,” a senior police officer said.
