A thief broke into North Bengaluru's Geometry Brewery, stealing up to Rs 60,000. The incident occurred early morning, with the suspect entering through a back door. Although carrying a pistol is unconfirmed, CCTV cameras were off. Police have launched an investigation based on the security guard's complaint.

A daring thief targeted the Geometry Brewery and Kitchen located on Gayatri Nagar road in North Bengaluru, making off with cash totaling between Rs 50,000 and Rs 60,000, the police revealed on Monday.

The break-in occurred in the early hours, between 3:30 am and 4 am, when the suspect accessed the premises through a back door, as per the initial report. The security guard raised the alarm after noticing the intruder, who was reportedly carrying a weapon, at around 4:30 to 5 am.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Saidulu Adavath reported that while the guard claimed the thief wielded a pistol, this has yet to be confirmed. The building's CCTV systems were disabled at the time, complicating efforts to identify the suspect. An FIR has been filed, and a thorough investigation is underway.
