House burgled in Bhubaneswar, jewellery worth Rs 20 L stolen

Throwing open challenges to the Commissionerate Police, thieves are targeting flats and houses on a regular basis in Bhubaneswar. In the latest incident of an audacious theft, robbers escaped with gold and silver jewellery worth over Rs 20 lakh and a significant amount of cash from a house at Gangotri Nagar, located under the jurisdiction of the Dhauli Police limits, on the outskirts of the capital city.

The incident took place last night while the residents were asleep in another room. The criminals managed to enter the premises through a bedroom window, carrying out the theft with notable precision and stealth and decamped with the booty. 

“The thieves decamped with three necklaces, two chains, five rings, five ear rings, five pairs of anklets and one waist chain. It was around 12 pm when my son told me that for some reasons he was afraid of sleeping alone. I then asked him to come to my room. In the morning when I went to his room, I found the almirah was open and files were lying scattered on the bed. I immediately raised an alarm. Then we noticed that the grill was broken. Then we were confirmed that our house had been burgled,” said the wife of the house owner.
