More than 150 sovereigns of gold jewellery were found stolen from Jos Alukkas jewellery in Coimbatore in the early hours of Tuesday, November 28. The police have formed five special teams to investigate the burglary.
Coimbatore City Police Commissioner V. Balakrishnan told media persons that the ornaments stolen from the jewellery group’s outlet on 100 Feet Road could be anywhere between 150 and 200 sovereigns. Since the jewellery was stolen at random from multiple racks, it took a while for the staff who arrived at the showroom on Tuesday morning to realise that a burglary had taken place.
