Tasmac Outlet in Vellore Burgled; CCTV Hard Disks Stolen, Cameras Vandalized

A Tasmac liquor outlet in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, was burgled, with the hard disks from its CCTV cameras stolen and the cameras themselves damaged, according to police reports. The incident occurred at an unspecified time, and the exact loss is yet to be determined.

Tasmac, the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation, operates a monopoly over retail liquor sales in the state. This burglary is part of a series of thefts targeting Tasmac outlets, raising concerns about security measures. The theft of CCTV hard disks suggests the perpetrators aimed to destroy evidence, complicating investigations.

The incident underscores the need for enhanced security at Tasmac outlets, which are often vulnerable due to their high-value inventory. Authorities are investigating, and further details are awaited. This event may prompt a review of security protocols at state-run liquor stores across Tamil Nadu.
