Jewellery stolen
Gold jewellery worth about Rs 2.5 lakh was allegedly stolen from the glove compartment of a scooter parked at Govindaraj Nagar on Tuesday.
Prasanna Kumar, a Vijayanagar resident, told the police he had collected the jewellery from a Canara Bank locker and kept it in his scooter. On his way home, he met a friend and stopped his two-wheeler near Adyar Ananda Bhavan at Govindaraj Nagar. Engrossed in a conversation, Kumar and his friend strolled away from the scooter for some time. On returning, he found the packet containing jewellery missing from the vehicle. Police suspect it to be the handiwork of a few criminals who follow bank customers and rob them of their valuables.
