Mangalore, May 10, 2013 :  Two men succeeded in diverting the attention of a woman and decamping with her cash and ornaments valued at over two lac rupees, on Thursday May 9.

The lady, a resident of Gandhinagar, Mannagudda in the city, was on her way to her residence. The incident occurred when she parked her car in front of a hotel for taking along some eatables near P V S Circle in the city. The mother of the woman went inside the hotel, as she sat inside the car with her child.

A youth approached her and told her that a ten rupee note was lying outside the car, before continuing to walk away, talking over his mobile phone. Another middle-aged person who came there drew the attention of the lady towards a ten rupee note that was lying outside the car.

As soon as the lady opened the door of the car and moved towards the currency note to pick it up, the two ran away after snatching a handbag kept on the backseat. The handbag reportedly contained gold ornament worth two lac rupees, Rs 11,000 in cash, ATM cards, driving licence, locker key, etc.

On a complaint filed by the cheated woman, a case stands registered in Kadri police station.
