A YouTuber from Kanyakumari, who is known for showcasing gold jewellery and bundles of cash on social media, was robbed after burglars broke into his house near Nagercoil and escaped with 118 sovereigns (944 grams) of gold and cash.
The burglary occurred at VIP Garden in Thammathukonam, where YouTuber Vinoth Kumar resides with his wife, Madhumitha. Unidentified burglars broke open the rear door of the house during the night, entered the premises and stole the valuables before fleeing the scene.
The theft came to light after which Rajakkamangalam Police arrived at the spot and launched an investigation.
Police are examining CCTV footage from the house and surrounding areas to identify the suspects and reconstruct their movements before and after the burglary.
Investigators are also looking into how the burglars entered the locality and whether their movements were recorded by surveillance cameras.
The social media activity of the YouTuber couple is also being scrutinised as part of the probe. Their videos have shown large amounts of gold jewellery and bundles of cash, prompting police to investigate whether these posts may have inadvertently disclosed information about the valuables stored at their residence.
For now, investigators are focused on identifying the burglars and determining exactly how the break-in was executed.
