Burglars eyeing gold strike twice in East Sikkim

GANGTOK, 13 Feb: There have been a series of robberies of late, especially gold heists in the East district and now comes news of a double gold heist in two different places under Ranipool police jurisdiction. A total of around 7 tolas of gold have been stolen and the burglars are yet to be identified or traced.
The house of Bhim Lall at Maligaon, Nandok was burgled a few days ago. The robber/s are reported to have entered his home by breaking in through the windows of the house during daytime. Gold ornaments weighing 3 tolas and a gold chain weighing 1 tola are reported stolen along with Rs. 10,000 in cash. The police also pressed the dog squad into action in this case but as of now this doesn’t seem to have been of assistance. The police are also interrogating suspects and known miscreant/s in the area. This, too, has not gotten them far.
In another, but similar incident, a robbery was reported from 5th Mile, Metro Point, Tadong. The complainant, Kuldeep Singh, had been away from home for about a week on official duty in Uttarakhand. On returning, he found his rented rooms had been burgled and his wife’s gold missing. In this incident 3 tolas of gold ornaments have been reported stolen and another 2 items made of silver. No one has been arrested so far.
