Mangaluru, Jun 9: The thieves have run away with jewellery worth Rs 11 lac after they managed to break the rear window glass of the Innova car parked at Panambur beach.
The incident happened on Sunday, Jun 7 when the beach was crowded with visitors.
Some tourists who were on a state tour, had come to the Panambur beach from Bengaluru in the Innova car. After parking the car at the beach, they ventured into sea for a leisure time. When they came back to the car, they were horrified to find out that the bag kept in the car, which contained the jewellery was missing. Then they came to know that the rear window glass of the car was broken.
The stolen items included necklace, bangles, chains and other gold items weighing around 520 grams. Immediately a police complaint was lodged at Panambur police station. When the police came to the site, no clues or any suspicious persons could be found.
It is suspected that the thieves must have seen the women taking out their jewellery and putting them into the bag before going to the beach, as no other car was touched among the hundreds parked.
CCTV camera installed in the area has not recorded the theft as a billboard erected near the parking site came in between the camera and car.
Panambur police have registered the case.
