A series of thefts in city has left residents in shock after burglars targeted multiple houses in the government employees’ quarters located in the Mission Compound area, under the jurisdiction of city police station.
The burglars broke into six homes, all of which were unoccupied at the time, as the residents were out of town. From one house alone, the thieves stole 120 grams of gold and Rs 20,000 in cash. The total value of the stolen items from the other homes is still being assessed.
Notably, the quarters lacked CCTV surveillance and had no security personnel, despite being located just a few meters from the town police station.
Additional Superintendent of Police (Crime) PA Hegde, DySP DT Prabhu, Town Inspector, City Municipal Council President Prabhakar Poojary and local Municipal Council member Ramesh Kanchan visited the scene to assess the situation.
