The bike of a resident of Rama Rao Road, East Abiramapuram was stolen from the camous where he resides, on Tuesday night.
Over the past weeks, people in this area have found common water taps stolen from apartment blocks.
The series of petty crimes are similar to those that have taken place in Mandavelipakkam.
Mylapore Police have taken in a complaint on the crimes and sub inspector Ramalingam has assured residents that his team will act on them.
One resident here said that some youths are seen loitering in the area after dark. He suspects that the thieves choose to target residences where the security is absent and make off with small things that can fetch some quick money.
