Nagpur: Summer season turns as the time of big kill for the thieves who often go on rampage taking advantage of the empty houses in view of vacation time.

In a similar such case, burglars broke into the house of one Mangalgiri Bhupatidas at Vanvihar Colony, Kamptee Road and decamped with valuables, including 50 tola gold (500gm), worth Rs 10.19 lakhs. The family was in Los Angeles, USA when the incident happened.

Though an elderly security guard was deployed at the residence, all the CCTV cameras there were switched off two days before the incident, police said. They are now investigating how it could have happened.

The burglary, which came to light on May 23, was registered at Jaripatka police on Sunday.
