MARGAO
Unknown miscreants targeted over half-a-dozen small shops at the Margao Old Station road last night decamping with petty cash.
The miscreants effected entry into a hair cutting saloon, a spare parts shop, motor rewinding shop etc by bending the shutters and breaking locks of the doors.
They could not lift much of the valuables, but the incident has sent shock waves among the small traders in the city since the shutters of the seven shops were bent on the busy road and close to the RPF quarters.
The traders have demanded that the police should intensify patrolling along the Old Station road given the fact that the miscreants have targeted the seven shops without any fear of the law enforcing agencies.
