Burglars break into businessman’s house in Madipakkam

Burglars broke into a house of a 66-year-old businessman in Madipakkam, and allegedly escaped with more than a kilogram of silver articles and other valuables. The Madipakkam police have launched an investigation to identify and arrest the suspects.

The complainant, R. Dhanapal, 66, was staying with his wife for over one week. On Tuesday morning, he noticed that the CCTV cameras installed at his house had stopped functioning. Suspecting something was amiss, he alerted a neighbour and asked him to check the house. The neighbour found the house burgled, following which Dhanapal and his wife returned to Chennai.

The couple found that the burglars had entered the house from the rear after scaling the compound wall and climbing onto the terrace. They then broke open two steel doors and ransacked three bedrooms.
