Thoubal, December 22 2018:
Robbers struck two shops near Phouden RCC Bridge under Yairipok Police Station in Thoubal District in the intervening night of December 21 and 22 and looted Rs 1,34,910 worth grocery items and computer equipments.
Of the two shops, Sm Salimuddin s/o Md Alimuddin owned the computer shop while Sm Mujibur s/o Md Asraf Ali owned the grocery shop.
According to the villagers, they rushed to the spot after some elders of the village raised alarm and alerted them in the wee hour today after the elders found the items inside the shops ransacked.
The villagers were awestruck on the way the burglary has been executed and informed that similar break-in occurred in earlier too.
The villagers urged the concerned authority to look into the matter to prevent re-occurrence of such incident and sought help to alleviate agony of the two shopkeepers.
A case has been registered at Yairipok Police Station today for further investigation.
