Mysuru: Miscreants have burgled a locked house at Mogarahalli Manti on KRS Road here and the theft came to light when a relative of the house owner visited the house last evening.

The burglary took place at the house of Guru Prasad, an employee of Mandovi Motors                        on KRS Road.

On Dec.27, Guru Prasad, along with his wife Vidya and their child, left for Hyderabad. The burglars, who came to know about the house being locked, may have struck the house on Dec.28 night.

Vidya’s brother Vinod, who visited the house last evening, found the rear door of the house forcibly opened and on entering the house, he found the entire house ransacked.

The burglars are said to have taken away costly sarees, shirts, pants, a laptop, a gold chain and all the silver articles kept at the house. The burglars had also filled other things in sacks but have not taken them.

KRS Police, who visited the house yesterday, conducted mahazar besides registering the case. Dog squad and fingerprint experts were pressed into service today morning.

The exact loss of valuables would be known only after Guru Prasad and Vidya return to city. KRS Police, who have registered a case, are investigating.
