Masked faces and a strange Marathi dialect are all that cops have to go on in their investigation of a recent Juhu housebreak, when six crooks attacked the elderly resident and his domestic staff and made off with booty worth about Rs 2.23 lakh.

The case has stumped both the Juhu police and the Crime Branch, who have been unsuccessful in identifying the culprits. The incident took place on July 31, between 2 am and 2.50 am, at Jay Mata Kutir (bungalow number Rs -371) on Gandhi Gram Road at Juhu beach.
