The thief obviously preplanned this (spotting of the phone with Muazzen, his disability, and the time when he would be alone etc.) and must have been a visitor of the mosque. This means he must live nearby. If Police starts asking questions from people living nearby, specially the tea stalls and pan khokhas, they would definitely identify him.
