Kundapur, Sep 28: Thieves dug a hole on the right side of the wall of Yadtare Primary Co-operative Rural Agricultural Development Bank, Byndoor on the night of Tuesday September 27 and attempted to steal gold and cash, but were unsuccessful in their mission.

The incident came to light on Wednesday morning. The group of thieves had entered the bank without breaking its shutters. They tried to damage the CCTV and took away the DVR of the CCTV camera.

Forensic experts and Byndoor police arrived for investigation. A police case has been registered at Byndoor police station.

Thefts at Kundapur have been on the rise. None of the thefts here have been fully solved. Thieves had entered a house near Basrur Moorukai during daylight last week and conducted a robbery. Thefts have been reported at the historic Asodu Nandikeshwara temple last Sunday. Thieves had also entered a mobile shop the same day.

Incidents of thefts have increased here during the last two years. A series of thefts have occurred at temples but nobody has been arrested. People are anxious that despite CC cameras, sirens and other precautionary measures, thefts are still continuing to occur.
