Medchal: Burglars broke into a jewellery shop by making a hole in the wall and stole gold and silver ornaments along with cash, which came to light on Tuesday after the shop was opened after the Diwali festival.
According to police, Seshumal Chowdhury runs a jewellery store called Sri Jagadamba Jewellers in a shop adjacent to the Medchal police station. He performed Diwali puja at the shop on Sunday and closed it for the day. The shop remained shut on Monday.
When Chowdhury opened the shop on Tuesday morning, he found the wooden door inside the premises broken. Alarmed, he went in and discovered a large hole in the rear wall. The thieves had apparently entered from the back by breaking through the wall. After getting inside, they removed part of a wooden door blocking their way and entered the store. From there, they made off with gold and silver ornaments and the cash kept in the drawer. Chowdhury said the burglars took 25 tolas of gold, 3.5 kg of silver and Rs 4 lakh in cash. He estimated the value of the stolen goods, excluding the cash, at Rs 60 lakh.
On receiving information, police visited the spot and inspected the scene. A clues team collected evidence, and police are checking the CCTV footage for more clues. A case has been registered and an investigation is under way.
