9 tulas gold stolen from elderly women in Lalaguda apartment

Two unidentified persons stole a gold chain weighing nine tulas from an 80-year-old person residing in Hari Hanth Sadan apartment in Lalaguda on Wednesday morning. 

The woman, Bala Rukmini, was alone in the house after her son Naresh went to his workplace. Around 9.30 am, two persons wearing caps entered the flat number 301, threatened the elderly woman and stole a gold chain from her.

The incident came to light when she alerted her son Naresh,



who returned home and informed the police. 

The police rushed to the spot and collected details from the woman, who was in a state of shock. Detective Inspector N Ramakrishna said the apartment security guard went to the first floor to attend some work at a flat owner’s house, while his wife had gone to purchase vegetables. 

After confirming that there was no one at the main gate, the two accused entered flat 301 and committed the offence.
