Apartment burgled while tenants away on vacation

An apartment in Zinj was burgled allegedly by a group of thieves while the tenants were out of the country on a vacation. Sources said thugs would have broken open the apartment late Friday evening.

They said cash around BD250 and other items were stolen. The apartment is located on Building 579, Road 3012, opposite the New Millennium School. Speaking to Tribune, the burglary victim’s brother Shiva Kannan said the door locks were broken by the thugs. “Police have begun probe into the incident.

We still don’t know as to how many were there? They made a thorough search, broke open cupboards, clothes were lying scattered on the floor. “There was some jewellery in the apartment. But luckily, the burglars failed to find them. They made off with BD250 cash. “It was the neighbours who informed me about the burglary.

It looks like a well-planned one.” Mr Kannan said the building doesn’t have CCTV cameras or other surveillance system, which would make the job difficult for cops to track down the suspects.
