Mangalore, April 1: Unidentified thieves broke into a house, where 20 people were sleeping and made away with gold ornaments worth around Rs 8. 5 lakhs at KC Road near Talapady, police sources said.



The incident might have taken place between 12:30 am and 5:00 am on Friday, as up to 12:00 am at least four persons were awake. The burglary came to light at 6:00 am when the residents woke up.



The house owner Ibrahim, who works at Qatar, had recently come home to attend his brother's marriage which took place on Thursday in the neighbourhood.



On account of the marriage 20 people including six men, six women and eight children, all close relatives of Ibrahim, had stayed overnight at his home.



However, none of them got alerted when strangers entered the house by removing one of the planks from the back door and opened the cupboard with the help of keys kept there. Among the 20 members at least eight people were sleeping inside the room where the cupboard is kept.



However, Ullal police Sub Inspector said that house owner has confirmed that all of the 20 people, who were at his house during the time of burglary were his close relatives and some professional thieves have committed this crime.



A case has been registered at Ullal police station. A team of experts is trying to collect basic information and finger prints besides pressing the sniffer dogs into service.
