The house robbery took place yesterday evening at the home of Akalakunnam's Poothilappu resident, Abraham. The family was out, and the thieves used this chance to break open the door and get inside. They targeted a cupboard and stole 23 sovereigns of gold, which included jewellery belonging to the children. The family only found out about the break-in when they returned home to see their door and cupboard forced open. The Pallikkathode police have registered a case and are investigating. Cops suspect it might be someone who knew the family's schedule and that there was gold in the house. A dog squad and fingerprint experts have already examined the crime scene.
