Mysuru: Shopkeepers involved in conversation were caught off guard, when a thief walked away with a carpet kept for sale at the entrance of their outlet.
When the thief noticed the shopkeeper duo involved in a deep conversation, he rolled the carpet kept in front of the shop and walked away with it. He did all this in quick time with relative ease, where none suspected his motive in broad daylight. Later, he took an auto to the nearest bus-station with the “stolen asset” and fled.
When the shopkeepers noticed the carpet missing, they inquired with the sales boy, who too had no clues. Later, when they verified the CCTV footage at a nearby shop, they got the clinching evidence.
A case is registered at Devaraja police station with CCTV footage evidence.
