A burglar made away with Rs96,000 from the Nilgiris supermarket on Tiruchy Road in Ramanathapuram.

He gained entry into the store by breaking up a part of the roof.

A private security guard was on duty at the supermarket during the night. Police said it has a few CCTVs inside and have been able to retrieve some footage. But the burglar’s face is not clear.

However, finger print experts lifted a few prints from the crime scene.
