Foreign notes burgled from car after diverting attention

The valuables belong to Ponnusamy of Nungambakkam, who had recently arrived from United States. On Friday, he hired a car to visit a couple of places in the city for official work and reached Vadapalani in the night. As Ponnusamy was away, his driver was waiting near the Metro Rail station. 

But when he returned, the travel bag in the car was missing. Ponnusamy had 5,000 US dollars and 100 euros, apart from his passport and other documents in the bag. 

Based on his complaint, the Vadapalani police have registered a case. In the CCTV footage recovered from the locality, police found that a group of men diverted the attention of the driver and escaped with the bag. Further inquiry is on to identify the suspects with the help of footage.
