Coimbatore: The city police are struggling to crack the 100-sovereign gold theft case reported from Tatabad on January 16. Burglars had decamped with the gold ornaments from the house of C Karthik on Dr Rajendra Prasad Road. Karthik, a businessman, had locked the house and left for Bengaluru with his family when the burglary was reported.
Two special teams have been working round-the-clock for the last 25 days to nab the burglars. Though they collected hundreds of CCTV footage, the cops have not been able to find evidence.
According to police sources, the family members gave contradictory statements, making it difficult to nab the culprits. TNN
