Silverware stolen from shop

By Our Staff Correspondent

MANGALORE, JUNE 8. Unidentified persons gained entry into a jewellery shop belonging to Prabhakaran at Thokkottu junction along National Highway 17 near here on Tuesday and decamped with 700 grams of silverware worth Rs. 6,000.

The incident took place between 4 a.m. and 4.30 a.m., according to a complaint lodged by the owner with the police.

The police said the thieves forced open the shutter and gained entry into the shop. They reportedly broke a glass casing of the display window and took the silver items.

The police said the thieves fled when their attempts to open the safe in which gold jewellery was kept set off a siren. Workers at an establishment above the shop rushed to the spot on hearing the siren, by which time the thieves had fled, they added.

Ullal Police are investigating.
