A group of monkeys are reported to have broken into a house in the Talalla area, taking off with some gold jewellery.
According to the Dinamina newspaper, the monkeys had broken into a room on the upper floor of the house, while the residents were working in the garden.
The stolen gold jewellery included a gold chain, pendant, three rings, and two Panchayuda that were kept inside a jewellery box.
Upon initial inspection of the room, the residents found all the belongings scattered across the room, while only later on they had found that the jewellery had been stolen.
Following a search conducted in the neighbourhood, the residents found some gold jewellery on the roof of the neighbour’s house and some in the gutter.
Several other items that had also been taken by the monkeys had later been found strewn across the neighbourhood. (Newswire)
