Mysuru: Heavy rains last night provided a golden opportunity for burglars to break into six shops on Alanahalli Ring Road. Though they pried open the shutters, burglars had to return empty-handed as the shop owners did not keep any cash and valuables at the counters.
The serial thefts were discovered this morning by walkers and passers-by who found the shutters opened from the bottom. They immediately alerted the Police. The shopkeepers had closed their outlets at 10 pm and the thieves broke in to the shops as it rained in the night.
