In a shocking case of theft, a gang of burglars decamped with a safe from a post office by breaking open its wall on Post Office Road under Mango police station area in the wee hours of Tuesday. The Mango Post Office authorities are yet to file written complaint about the theft, but the police claimed that there was no cash as such in the vault, but did not rule out possibilities of Indira Vikash Patra, stamps and other valuable documents.
Sources informed that the burglars took away the vault after breaking open the wall completely. Though there was a computer set and a steel almirah in the post office, but the criminals targeted only the vault. Sambhu Prasad, post master said, “The way the criminals committed the burglary, it seems that they were expert.”
The post master, said the work of post office has not been affected due to burglary. Deputy superintendent of police (headquarters-1), Birendra Prasad Yadav confirmed about the burglary at the Mango post office. "We are investigating the incident. As per our information there must be a gang of four or five members involved in the burglary," said Yadav.
"We even used sniffer dogs for detection of the burglars. The burglars might have carried the vault, weighing 0.5 ton by carrying it on an auto rickshaw," said Yadav. He said they are trying to detect the case, adding that the night patrolling will be intensified soon.
