Coimbatore: Forensic experts lifted four fingerprints from the house at Ramasamy Naidu layout at Ellaithottam near Peelamedu, from where burglars took away 91 sovereigns of gold ornaments and Rs 55,000 a few days ago.
“Fingerprint bureau officials are trying to match the prints with ex-convicts, whose fingerprints are stored in the system. The details were also shared with Tirupur, Erode and Salem districts police. Two special teams have been formed to nab the burglars,” said a senior police officer.
There were no CCTV cameras in the house or the neighbourhood. “We have collected some low-resolution CCTV footage from the locality,” the officer added.TNN
