Burglary carried out while family was away at hospital for son’s surgery; CCTV captures thief scaling compound wall
A significant theft occurred in Thrissur, India, where thieves burglarized a house in Koorkenchery and stole 55 sovereigns of gold ornaments and ₹3.5 lakh in cash. The incident took place during the early hours of Monday morning. The house belonged to Hasan Ali, and the family was away at a hospital as his son was undergoing surgery.
The stolen items, which were kept in three cupboards, were valuable possessions of Hasan Ali's wife, daughter, and daughter-in-law. Additionally, the thieves made off with ₹3.5 lakh intended for repaying a bank loan. Surveillance cameras captured the criminal climbing the compound wall and entering the property, but he subsequently destroyed the camera in an apparent attempt to cover his tracks.
Upon their return home in the morning, family members noticed the doors were ajar and promptly alerted the police. Authorities from the Thrissur City police and Nedupuzha police, along with fingerprint experts, arrived at the scene and initiated an investigation into the case.
