In a daring daylight burglary, an unknown person posing as an electricity meter reader burgled a house at Benaulim right in front of the two minor inmates on Monday morning.
The incident occurred at around 10 am when the owner Suresh Zamuni left the house for work at around 7.30 am and left his two minor sons behind. At around 10 am, a thief posing as a power meter reader came to the house and requested the minor boys to open the house saying he is a meter reader.
The alert minors refused to open the door. The complainant informed that the miscreant then asked the boys to open the door and give him water to drink.
The boys refused to open the door, but the miscreant under the pretext of giving them his cell number so that they can ask their father to call him barged inside the house and managed to decamp with gold ornaments, valued around Rs 2.5 lakh, besides cash of Rs 80,000 by putting fear in the children.
A complaint to this effect was lodged with the Colva police. The miscreant was attired in a red T-shirt and came on a motorcycle.
