Mangalore, Apr 12: In a case of theft reported from a flat located in an apartment complex near Morgan’s Gate in the city on Monday April 12 morning, approximately 100 grams of gold ornaments and Rs 19,000 have been reported to have been stolen by unidentified thieves.
 
The flat in question is on the second floor of Ramaprasad Apartments near Morgans’s gate.  Residents of the flat, Chitralekha and her son, on their return on Monday morning after attending a puja function in the house of a relative, found that the thieves had gained entry into the flat by breaking open its rear door. They were not at home the previous night. The house is owned by Chitralekha’s husband, Ramakrishna Salian, who works in a Gulf country.

It is suspected that someone who knew the family well was involved with theft. The thieves appeared to know that there was no one at home during the period they targetted the flat.

About 100 grams of gold ornaments and Rs 19,000 in cash stored in the almirah were found to be missing.

The personnel of Pandeshwar policemen have registered a case in this connection. Fingerprint experts and policemen have inspected the spot. Investigations are on.
