Coimbatore: In a shocking incident, a masked thief attempted to break into an occupied house in Shoba Nagar, near Avarampalayam in the Peelamedu area of Coimbatore. The incident occurred on July 13 night and was captured on CCTV cameras, causing alarm among local residents.

According to reports, the house belongs to Ramasamy, who was asleep with his family when the attempted burglary took place. Around midnight, a masked intruder approached the house, assuming it was empty. The thief then tried to break open the front door, unaware that the family was inside.
