Hyderabad, June 5 -- In a bizarre incident that has gone viral on social media, burglars in Telangana's Suryapet district appeared to turn a house break-in into a leisurely stopover, helping themselves to cool drinks before making away with valuables.

The theft took place in Kodad town while the homeowners, Nagesh and Madhavi, were away in Khammam. According to reports, the burglars broke into the residence and spent time inside the house, during which they allegedly consumed soft drinks available on the premises before carrying out the theft.

The accused are said to have escaped with around 60 tolas of silver, 15 grams of gold and cash. The exact value of the stolen property is yet to be officially confirmed.
