Thieves made off with gold and silver jewellery worth ₹5.15 lakh and ₹25,000 in cash from a locked residential property in the Singarva area of Ahmedabad on Thursday night.
The incident unfolded while the residents were asleep in an adjacent house situated directly behind the main property. Odhav police have registered a formal case and launched an investigation to track down the suspects.
Midnight Break-In
The victim, 57-year-old Anandiben Kanubhai Bhoy, resides in a joint family near the Fatehsinh Chauhan statue close to the Singarva village pond. Her eldest son Vijaybhai and his family had been away on a pilgrimage to Dwarka since September 14.
At around 12.15 am on Thursday, the remaining family members locked the street-facing house and walked to the rear dwelling to sleep. They returned at 6.00 am to find the exterior latch broken and household items scattered across the rooms.
Loot Recovered From Dual Safes
Intruders forced open two separate lockers inside the house. They took gold ornaments including a chain, earrings, pendant sets, a necklace, a mangalsutra, bangles, and rings. Silver items—such as anklets, waist chains, and heavy bracelets—alongside the cash reserve were also cleared out.
Police Investigation Underway
Local authorities arrived following a distress call and filed a First Information Report at the Odhav police station. Investigators are currently scanning closed-circuit television footage from surrounding lanes to identify the movement of the burglars during the early hours of Friday.
