CHENNAI: It looks straight out of a thriller movie. A housewife gets a telephone call from her husband’s phone in the middle of the night. But the man was sleeping next to her.To her surprise, the call came from a group of burglars who had stealthily taken away their belongings, including the mobile phone, from their house a little earlier.Police said two-wheeler mechanic Gopinath, Geetha and their children Niveda (4) and Harish (four months) were in deep sleep at their house at Otteri when the burglars struck. They opened the lock of the front door and took away gold jewellery, a pair of anklets and `15,000, besides the mobile phone. Later, the burglars scrolled the numbers on the phone and called Geetha by mistake. She woke Gopinath up and they discovered the robbery. The couple attempted to call the phone back but the burglars had switched off the phone. The mechanic later lodged a complaint with the police and an inquiry is on. 2 Chain Snatching Cases ReportedTwo cases of chain snatching were reported in the city on Friday.
