Thiruvananthapuram: A burglary was reported on
Christmas night at Kattakkada in Thiruvananthapuram, where unidentified persons
broke into a house and stole gold jewellery weighing 71 pavan (approximately
568 grams) while the family was attending church.
The incident occurred at the residence of Shine
Kumar at Kattaikkode, Kotamkuzhi, Thozhukkalkonam. Shine Kumar and his family
had left for a nearby church around 6 pm. When his wife Anubha returned home
around 9 pm, she noticed that a front-side door was open. On checking inside,
it was found that the bedroom cupboard had been forcibly broken open and gold
ornaments-including children’s bracelets, bangles, rings and necklaces-were missing.
Gold jewellery belonging to Anubha’s sister and her
husband, kept in the house as they were away, was also stolen. The burglars had
allegedly cut the electricity supply by removing the fuse before committing the
theft.
Police said all cupboards and locked sections of the
house were broken open and household items were found scattered. There was also
an attempt to break open the main door.
