Garden Reach House Robbed: Rs 70,000 and Jewellery Stolen
Imagine a house where a lady was sleeping.
Some sneaky people broke into her house late at night by breaking the front door.
They went to the lady's room and sprayed something that made her sleep very deeply, so she couldn't move easily.
Then, they went upstairs, broke open a closet and a drawer, and took about 70,000 rupees and some gold jewelry.
The lady was too sleepy to stop them but managed to press a bell to alert her son.
By the time help arrived, the robbers had already escaped.
The police are now looking at security cameras to find out who did it.
Thieves broke into a three-storey house in Garden Reach on Friday night.
They allegedly sprayed a sleep-inducing agent on an elderly woman sleeping inside.
Approximately Rs 70,000 in cash and various gold jewellery items were stolen.
The culprits gained entry by breaking the main wooden entrance door.
Police are investigating the incident and collecting CCTV footage from the surrounding area.
