Jamshedpur : The burglars decamped with cosmetic items and food-grains worth over Rs 1.5 lakh from a godown at Mango in the wee hours of Friday. The burglary took place when the owner of the godown-cum-residence, Pramod Singh was sleeping.
In this connection, the police have have started investigating into the incident. Officials of Mango police station said that the burglars decamped with the valuables after cracking four locks. He admitted that the burglary took place despite the night-patrolling by the police is done across Mango area extensively.

The officer claimed that the night patrolling is carried out regularly on the streets, but they failed to take notice of this burglary.

The police administration has decided to increase night patrolling in the city, especially in Mango and Sakchi localities of the city.
