Mysuru: Burglars used heavy cutting equipment to drill through a thick concrete wall to get inside a jewellery shop and managed to decamp with the booty last night.
The miscreants broke into Vardhaman Jewellers located in Saraswathipuram area of the city and escaped with Rs 15 Lakh worth of gold and silver jewellery.
Continuous downpour during this week made their job easy as none could make out the burglars’ moves.
The incident came to light this morning when the owner opened the door of his shop. A shocked owner immediately informed the police.
Saraswatipuram Police Station Inspector Nagegowda accompanied by support staff, dog squad and fingerprint experts visited the spot.
A case has been registered but the latest burglary has once again shaken the residents in the cultural city who have been witnessing a steep increase in such cases.
