Special Correspondent

TAMBARAM: Mobile phones and cash, totally worth a few lakh rupees, were stolen from a shop in Sholinganallur.

The burglary came to light on Tuesday morning when the staff came to open the store located near the Sholinganallur junction on Rajiv Gandhi Salai.

In his complaint lodged with the Thoraipakkam police, the owner said the store was locked around 9 p.m. on Monday. When the staff opened the shop on Tuesday, they noticed a hole drilled on the wall. More than 50 mobile handsets and Rs. 50,000 in cash were stolen, he said.

Police suspect the crime to have been committed by the same gang which burgled a mobile phone store in West Tambaram on July 18 as the method adopted was the same. The culprits managed to drill open a hole on the wall from the rear side and took away the valuables after squeezing into the shop through the hole. Investigations are on.

Jewellery missing

A woman passenger of a Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) bus has complained to the Pallavaram police that gold jewellery weighing five sovereigns was missing.

G.Sheeba told police that she boarded the MTC bus to T.Nagar on Monday and that soon after she got into the vehicle, a pouch containing the jewellery were missing. She was on her way to a jewellery showroom in T.Nagar.

Search on for youth

The St.Thomas Mount police are looking out for a youth on charges of abducting a 20-year-old woman, whom he had married after allegedly cheating her.

The girl, hailing from Kerala and a third-year engineering student, was staying with her relatives near Porur and had come into contact with the youth who had told her that he was a senior officer in a software firm. The two had married in a temple and were living in Minjur. When she came to know that the youth was already having a relationship with other women, she returned to her relatives.

A week ago, the youth and four of his friends are reported to have kidnapped her from Kathipara to Bangalore, but she managed to escape. However, the youth was harassing her over phone, following which she submitted a grievance petition to S. R. Jangid, Chennai Suburban Police Commissioner. A case was registered in the S.R.M.C. police station and would be transferred to the St. Thomas Mount police station as the spot from where she was kidnapped came under its jurisdiction, police said.
