Burglars break into 21 vegetable shops, decamp with 75kg tomatoes - The Times of India
JAIPUR: The soaring prices of onion has not only affected the common man, it has also compelled the burglars to change their priorities. Tomatoes which are selling at Rs 80 to Rs 100 per kg in retail, are now given bigger importance than gold or silver for the burglars. At Sabzi Mandi, near Kotwali police station in Dausa, burglars decamped with close to 75 kg of tomatoes from various vegetables shops.
The vegetable vendors as per practice came to open their shops on Thursday morning at 6 am and were taken aback when they saw the iron kiosks broken. Though stunned by the burglary, they were amused when realised that the burglars also decamped with tomatoes and electronic weighing machines. As many as 21 shops had broken locks.
"As a matter of practice, we leave coins in our cash boxes but they were not touched. Roughly 75 kg of tomatoes were stolen. We have registered a complaint after the retailers complained and are investigating the matter," said an investigative officer of the Kotwali police station.
