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
and the latest victim was Focuz Computers.
Last week, 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 next morning,” said Santosh Pillai, Business
Manager, Focuz Computers.

“We heard from some friends that a group is trying to sell our notebooks for
a much cheaper rate among the traders. This means that the burglars are still in
Kerala. However, we are unable to get hold of them. Even the police are trying
to find them and get our things back,” Santosh stated. Following this spate of
thefts, it is time that traders start becoming careful about their security
practices.
