Six thieves stole 100 pigs from sheds near Doddaballapura, Bengaluru, in two midnight raids. Farmers Divakar and Lokesh lost pigs worth over Rs 8 lakh
A gang of six pork-lover thieves stole 100 pigs from two sheds located near Doddaballapura on the outskirts of Bengaluru.
In two consecutive midnight operations, the gang struck the same shed twice, leaving farmers in shock. On the first day, thieves broke into farmer Divakar’s shed in Byrasandra and stole 30 pigs. They targeted his shed again the very next day and stole over 20 more.
Police said the gang struck with ease as the two sheds were located far away from human habitat due to hygiene factors.
On the first day, they first parked their vehicle and slowly loaded the pigs in their truck, but the next day they emptied the shed. Police said while escaping, they even left behind smaller pigs on the road, injuring their limbs.
A complaint has been filed at the Dodballapur Rural Police Station regarding the incident.
