Thieves conduct recce in afternoon
The thieves did not try to search for valuables in any other room of the house. They stole the gold directly from the cupboard where the jewellery was kept and fled. Moreover, the police estimate that the incident took place between 2 pm and 5 pm. Earlier, on June 16, thieves broke into a flat in the Jawaharnagar area in broad daylight and stole 15 tolas of gold. Therefore, gangs of thieves are entering apartments that do not have security guards during the day and are committing theft.
