Unidentified thieves pulled off a bold burglary in Maharashtra’s Thane district, making off with cosmetics worth Rs 21.7 lakh from a storage facility, police reported on Friday. The crime occurred last week in the Purna area of Bhiwandi, according to an official.

The perpetrators reportedly gained entry by drilling a hole through the godown’s wall, allowing them to pilfer the valuable haul, the official explained. On Wednesday, authorities filed a case under sections 331(4) (house-trespass or housebreaking) and 305 (theft in a dwelling house, or means of transportation or place of worship, etc.) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
