In a broad daylight crime, unidentified persons on Tuesday looted gold ornaments worth Rs 2 lakh and cash money from a house at Gwjwnpuri in Kokrajhar town.
Police officials said, at around 10.45 am, thieves entered the house of Junu Narzary Nounwgwr near UN Academy in Kokarajhar. Nounwgwr is a government employee.
No one was there when the thieves broke the locks of the main gate, and the front door to enter Nounwgwr’s house.
Nounwgwr and his family members had gone to Titaguri when the thieves managed to enter his house.
“When I came back around 10.45 am, I found that all the locks were broken and thieves took our gold and money,” Nounwgwr told Northeast Now.
