Nagpur: Burglars targeted two flats in different localities on Tuesday and relieved the owners of gold ornaments and cash collectively valued at over Rs 4 lakh. The daylight house-breakings occurred in Gittikhadan and Hudkeshwar areas. No arrests have so far been made.
In the first incident, the victim flat owner Ramesh Jagdishwar Rao (48), resident of Flat No. 102, Laxmi Digal Apartment, Indrayani Nagar, locked the front door of the flat and went out for some domestic work at about 1 pm on Tuesday. At the same time, some burglars broke open the lock and entered Ramesh’s flat. Once inside, the goons opened the steel almirah kept in bedroom and laid their hands on gold-silver ornaments and cash of Rs 5000 collectively valued at Rs 1,89,200 and decamped with the booty.
