Men broke open the rear window glasses of three cars parked near Trasi beach, near Gangolli, on Sunday evening and took away ornaments and cash.
The Gangolli police said that the men first broke open the window glasses of a car owned by Ganesh Kamath, a resident of Bantwal, and then of his Kamath’s nephew, Santosh G. Nayak.
The two had come with their family members to the beach in their cars.
They went to the beach at around 4.30 p.m. and parked their cars near the Circuit House off National Highway 66.
When the two returned at 5 p.m., they found that gold and silver ornaments and some cash had gone missing from their cars.
Similarly, a gang broke open the rear window glass of a car owned by K. Suryanarayana, a resident of Madikeri, and made away with two gold bangles, two mobile phones and ₹ 1,800 in cash.
The complainant put the loss at ₹ 78,000.
This car too was parked near the beach, the police said.
Cash taken away
A gang drilled a hole in the wall of an outlet of Medplus off Bejai Kapikad Road here on Sunday night and took away ₹ 4,000 in cash.
The gang also made an attempt to enter the adjoining jewellery shop in a similar way.
The Urwa police said that the Medplus staff noticed the theft on Monday morning when they opened the shop.
The gang had ransacked the pharmacy before taking away the cash.
The gang tried in vain to enter the adjoining Kamakshi Jewellers.
The police said that they are working on some clues.
