Burglars entered the first floor shop of Keshav Jewellers by breaking the window grill and looted all the jewellery which were meant for repairing. Then they went to the ground floor and looted cash from counter box. They also tried to open the safe iron chest where the new ornaments were kept but could not, police said.

C Satyanarayan Senapati one of the owners of Keshav Jewellers and president of Ganjam and Berhampur Jewellers Association said we closed the shop at 9 to 10 pm last night. When we opened the shop at 10 am today, the things inside the shop were scattered and we informed the police immediately.
