Mangalore, June 11: Jewellery worth Rs 3.50 lac was stolen when theives sneaked into a house while the family members were sleeping. The incident occurred at Thenkamijaru village in Kandelbettu on Monday June 9.
The incident was reported in the house of Diwakar, a resident of Thenkamijaru. There were nine members in the house. All of them went to sleep at around 11 pm. On Tuesday morning, at around 6 am, when Diwakar woke up from sleep, he noticed the latch of the back door was broken and the gold ornament boxes were strewn on the floor. To clear his doubt, he searched for the jewellery in the cupboard and came to know about the theft.
As the key was in the cupboard, the thieves found it easy to open it.
There is a doubt that the thieves entered the house by removing the back door latch through the window using some equipment.
Diwakar has filed a case and Moodbidri police are investigating.
