Daylight robbery at Andhra Pradesh temple
Sri Kshanamukteswara Swamy Temple in Andhra Pradesh's Konaseema district was burgled on Saturday.
Someone broke the main door lock, got into the sanctum, and made off with 66gm of gold ornaments plus a whole kilo of silver.
The theft was only noticed when priests arrived later and quickly alerted the police.
Thief smeared vibhuti on CCTV cameras
In a clever move, the thief smeared vibhuti (sacred ash) over the temple's CCTV cameras to dodge being caught on video.
Police and forensic teams responded fast, collecting fingerprints and other evidence at the scene.
Investigators are now analyzing clues as they work to track down who pulled off this heist.
