Kundapur, Nov 5: In a daring daylight theft, miscreants broke the window of a parked car and escaped with Rs 2 lac in cash at Tallur near Kundapur on Tuesday evening.

The victim, identified as Gundu Shetty, a contractor and resident of Kenchanur, had withdrawn Rs 2 lac from a bank in Tallur and kept the cash inside his car. He then parked the vehicle in front of a residential complex near Tallur town and went to his rented house. When he returned after about 10–15 minutes, he found the car window shattered and the cash missing.

According to reports, the culprits broke the right-side window of the car and stole the money kept in the dashboard. The theft occurred in a busy area near Tallur Junction, which has residential apartments, commercial complexes, and a bus and auto stand nearby. The incident, having taken place in broad daylight, has caused concern among locals.

It is suspected that the thieves might have followed Gundu Shetty from the bank after confirming his cash withdrawal before committing the theft.

Kundapur SI Nanja Naik and his team visited the spot, collected information, and have begun investigation. A case has been registered at the Kundapur police station.
