Mysuru: Burglars, who gained entry into a house in Vidyaranyapuram 4th Main, 26th Cross, by breaking open the glass pane of the window and then opening the door, have decamped with gold jewellery from the house.

The burglary took place at the house of Veena, who had gone to a wedding after locking the house on Saturday morning. The burglary came to light when she returned on Wednesday.
