Kundapur, Jul 15: Serial thieves continue to worry the residents of Kundapur. On the night of Monday July 14, thieves broke into 10 shops located in the commercial area here and looted valuables worth lacs of rupees.

It may be recalled that recently, thieves had broken into eight commercial establishments in Byndoor area.

The thieves broke into four jewellery shops at Car Street, Koteshwar, namely Prakash Jewellers, Veena Jewellers, Kirthi Jewellers and Prasiddhi Jewellers.

At Kundapur College road, Sri Seetarama Vividhoddesha Seva Sahakari Sangha, in Hemmadi, Lewis Hardware, Mathashri Jewelers, and wine shop were looted. In Byndoor, Naikankatte jewellery store and in Kota, Usha Jewellers were targetted.

Police suspect that the thieves were professionals. Sources said that the locks and shutters of all the shops were removed in the same way. Unluckily for the police, there were no CCTVs in the shops.

A case has been registered in Kundapur police station.

DySP C B Patil, circle inspector Divakar with the help of fingerprint experts and sniffer dogs from Udupi inspected the areas and collected details. Further investigations are on.

    Has anyone heard the expression in Hindi: Sothe raho, Jagthe raho, which our neighbourhood watchman (a Gurka guy, only with a latti, a long banboo stick in his hand, his only weapon of defense and maybe a Gurka knife ... I have never ever seen it on him though, when he used to patrol the street we used to live in Kanpur from 1971 to 1981. Once a month the Gurka Sentry used to knock our house door to collect his monthly security fees of one (1) Rupee) and every thing was 'hunky-dory'). for us. 100% safety in Kapur, a notorious city for robberies, dacoity, murders etc. in those days!

    So I suggest, Kundapur residents and business owners should also organize a 'Neighbourhood Watch' committee to patrol the residential and business streets of Kundapur, doing the sme in pairs and with the permission of local police/security personnel etc.

    The way the shutters have been prised off, it appears to be the handiwork of well organized professional interstate gangs it is alarming that so many shops were broken open in one go and nobody got alerted!! Law and order situation is at its lowest in DK!!

    Most of the shops robbed either from Jewellers and or loan lending society. Both are in turmoil. Robber must be familiar with the area or educated to read the placard.
