Burglars struck in Cuncolim after unknown thieves decamped with gold ornaments and cash worth over Rs 20 lakh from a residential house at Demani.
The incident sent shock waves across Cuncolim as the burglary took place in broad daylight on Thursday evening while the inmates were away.
The owner later realised that his house had been burgled after finding the premises ransacked and the gold and cash missing.
The incident has sparked outrage in Cuncolim as the house is located barely a few metres from the Cuncolim police station.
Former Cuncolim Municipal Councillor Mariano Soares slammed the government for ignoring the requirements of the Cuncolim police station, particularly in terms of vehicles and manpower.
