Theft in Focuz Computers

As if the confusion over taxation norms and service issues were not enough
for the channel in Kerala, now partners have to deal with another
menace-burglars. Over the past seven months burglars have looted seven shops in
the region, and the latest victim is Focuz Computers.

Focuz Computers' Eranakulam branch was robbed by burglars who took off with
11 notebooks worth Rs 6 lakh and approximately Rs 60,000 in cash. “We were
shocked to see the shutters open when we came the next morning,” said Santosh
Pillai, Business Manager, Focuz Computers.

He added that such incidents were becoming a regular feature despite
awareness about burglaries among traders in the state. Focuz Computers has filed
a police complaint.

The company has received information that the thieves are trying to sell the
notebooks. “We heard from some friends that a group is trying to sell our
notebooks for a much cheaper rate to traders. This means that the thieves are
still in Kerala. However, we are unable to get hold of them,” Santosh stated.

Following the spate of thefts, it is time that traders started becoming
careful about their security practices. “We request our trader friends not to
buy stolen products and to help us nab the culprits,” he added.
