Mangalore, May 4: In yet another case of daylight theft, a lady lost her gold ornaments worth Rs 3.80 while travelling by bus on Thursday May 3.
Jayalatha, a resident of Bajpe, carrying a purse with gold jewellery worth Rs 3.8 lac in her bag, was on her way from Ladyhill to Mangaldevi when the incident took place.
A few minutes later she noticed that the purse in which she had kept gold was missing and immediately filed a complaint with the Urwa police.
Cases of pickpocketing have been on the rise in the city. Last week, two women thieves were caught for trying to steal a bag from a passenger in a local bus.
