Burglars Steal Dozens of Phones From Khammam Sonovision Showroom
Police have opened a forensic-led investigation after thieves forced entry and took high-end handsets with the total value still unconfirmed.
Overview
- The burglary occurred in the small hours of Thursday when miscreants cut locks, entered the Sonovision showroom near the ZP office and removed dozens of mobile phones from display and stock areas.
- Khammam police registered a case and Commissioner Sunil Dutt visited the scene as officers deployed two teams to trace the suspects after the store alarm alerted staff.
- The CLUES Team collected fingerprints and other forensic traces at the scene while investigators are reviewing nearby CCTV to identify the burglars and their getaway route toward Wyra.
- Reports differ on losses: one outlet cited the shop owner saying about 100 phones worth roughly ₹1 crore were taken, while police and management have said the exact value is still being assessed.
- No arrests have been reported so far and the probe could yield leads from CCTV and fingerprints, which may allow police to recover stolen devices and hold suspects to account.
