Eclipse effect: 8 shops burgled in one night

Mysuru: Last night’s Lunar Eclipse gave a perfect opportunity for burglars to strike in city and they made the most out of it by looting cash from eight shops in Kuvempunagar, Saraswathipuram and Jayapura Police limits.

Though it was a sky-sent opportunity, burglars could not make away with much cash. But the way they pried open shop shutters has worried the Police as it is not the handiwork of regular lock-breaking criminals but burglars who have made use of technology for the crime.
