BICHOLIM
Burglars broke into three government offices at the Bicholim Town Centre building at night and stole cash of about Rs 56,000.
Burglars broke open the doors of the Bicholim Road Transport Office, National Insurance Office and Labour Office in the wee hours of Thursday.
The burglars ransacked the offices on the second floor of the building and it is suspected that a group of burglars were involved in all three incidents.
Bicholim DySP Sagar Ekoskar, Bicholim Police Inspector Suraj Gawas and a police team conducted investigations, while a forensic team and a police dog squad were also pressed into service.
The burglaries have been reported barely days after cash of Rs 6 lakh was burgled from a house at Vathadev. Burglaries have also been reported in the Bicholim market.
Voicing concern over burglaries in the municipality, Bicholim MLA Dr Chandrakant Shetye and locals have demanded increased night patrolling by police in Bicholim town.
