Cops at the crime scene
Rajkot: Three men armed with pistol and knives looted gold and silver jewellery worth Rs 1 crore from a showroom on Saint Kabir Road in Rajkot on Monday evening. However, the exact value of the jewellery looted from Shiv Jewellers is yet to be verified.
According to police, the armed robbers entered the showroom around 6pm and held the owner Mohan Dodiya at gun-point. Dodiya’s shop is the only jewellery showroom in the residential area.
Senior cops including city police commissioner Manoj Agarwal rushed immediately to the crime scene.
Preliminary investigation suggested that the robbers had planned the loot as they had come with weapons. They also seem to have knowledge of how much jewellery was on display in the showroom, said police sources.
