The police suspect that the thief had observed the house in advance and was aware that it was unoccupied. CCTV footage from the property shows a person checking the gate’s security before entering. The burglar first opened the gate, then forced entry through the front door to access the valuables.
Investigators are now closely examining CCTV footage from both inside and outside the house to identify the suspect. Police suspect that someone with local knowledge of the area may be involved.
This is the second big theft recently reported in the Chevayur Police area. Another case in Parambil Bazaar involved 25 sovereigns of gold stolen from a locked, empty house. CCTV footage is also helping the police in that case, reports Mathrubhumi.
