The burglary took place at the residence of Florine Pinto at Anchikatte near Vagga on Thursday at around 6:30 am.

Reportedly the miscreants rang the doorbell of the house and when Florida opened it, they barged inside, brandished a knife, and took away keys to the cupboard.

Florida and her daughter Marina Pinto who was also present at home at the time of the incident tried to put up a fight but they were overpowered. Marina is said to have sustained injuries to her hand.

Notably, two days ago a juice machine was reported stolen from a nearby shop in the same area.
