KOCHI: With the pandemic subsiding, many are going for journeys leaving their houses unattended and burglars are back at it, now targeting such locked houses.
In the past three weeks eight houses were burgled in the city centre and most of them were hit during the daytime when residents were away from their homes. Even as police managed to arrest the accused in seven out of the eight incidents, senior officers say that the public need to remain vigilant to keep such criminals at bay.
