Bantwal, Oct 24: In a daylight theft that occurred at Bobbekeri, Devasyabailu at Vittal near here on Tuesday, October 23, gold and cash worth lacs of rupees were stolen by the robbers from a house in which the inmates were out at the time of robbery.

Vishnugupta Punacha alias Ramesh K, a Vittal-based journalist, had gone out from his house at 11 am. His wife also had gone to work. When both of them returned at 4 pm in the evening, they were shocked to see their house ransacked by the thieves. The thieves, who entered the house by breaking open the backdoor, searched two cupboards. They have stolen Rs 65,000 in cash that was kept in the cupboard and 18 sovereigns of gold.



Vittal police were notified immediately by Ramesh.

ACP Sonawane Hrishikesh Bhagwan, Bantwal police inspector Nagaraj, Vittal additional sub-inspector Harish and personnel have visited the spot. Dog squad and finger print experts from Mangaluru have reached the spot and conducted spot inspection. Vittal police have registered a case in this connection.

It is suspected that the gang of thieves must have got prior information about the inmates not being in the house at the specified time and carried out the theft. In addition, locals have informed the police that unidentified scrap dealers were roaming in the vicinity of this locality for the past few days.

    Police are required to catch the criminal while committing the crime and not only to take action once the crime is committed.

    Too sad when only 10Rupees or 10lacs stolen,and your private atmosphere was simply disturbed,makes one very sad.You feel not sure any more.In future the back door should be more secured than front door.Many keep a upper latch of the door lock,but one can easily put hand from above and release it.That should be closed in future so that noone can enter house from back.Now karnataka is the heaven for thieves.Man know who is working where,how rich one is.Best is keep someone in house when go out even for a short period.Atleast a dog in house .we better use some safety methods when you go out with help of cctv,which gives you a alarm on mobile when unidentified people enter. the house.
