Goa, Jan. 11 -- A dacoity attempt in Parra failed on Sunday night after alert action by a resident forced the accused to flee. According to sources, four masked men allegedly tried to break into a house around 10.30 pm while the family was away attending a wedding. The lone occupant at the residence was the family's daughter. The accused were reportedly seen cutting through window grills when the girl noticed their presence and raised an alarm. Hearing the noise, the men immediately ran away without stealing anything. The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras installed at the premises. Police have begun a probe and are examining the footage to identify and trace the suspects involved in the failed attempt.
