Silver heist: Three detained in Chikkaballapur
Chikkaballapur (PTI): A gang of unidentified men struck a jewellery store here and decamped with around 140 kg of silver ornaments valued at nearly Rs three crore, police said on Wednesday.
According to the police, the burglars broke open the shop’s shutter and door locks on Monday night and carried out the theft without leaving behind any immediate clues.
The burglary came to light on Tuesday morning when shop staff arrived to open the showroom and found the locks broken, following which the police were informed.

The burglars entered the shop at 12.10 am and spent over three hours. Initially, they attempted to break open the lock using an iron rod, but later cut it using a cutter to gain entry.

Further investigation is underway to ascertain whether they were involved in similar crimes elsewhere, police added.
