Burglars had a field day in Cuncolim Sunday night as they targeted two houses at Kegdicotto in Cuncolim.
The exact value of the stolen property is being assessed since the owners are presently out of station, including a family which is staying abroad.
The incident came to light on Monday after the house owner, who is staying abroad, found the camera outside down. When his relatives went to the house, they were shocked to find that the doors had been broken by the miscreants to enter inside.
Their worst fears came true when they went inside, only to find the cupboards ransacked by the miscreants in search of the booty.
The CCTV footage has captured one of the burglars entering the house by jumping over the gallery to get inside.
Locals have demanded that the police intensify patrolling to keep the burglars at bay. They pointed out that the police should try to identify and round up people moving suspiciously.
The police are investigating.
