Three armed masked men stormed a jewellery shop in the outskirts of Bengaluru and escaped with gold jewellery valued at approximately Rs 18 lakh, all within 15 seconds. The entire loot was captured on the CCTV footage at the premises. The video surfaced online and has gone viral on social media.
The dramatic incident took place at Ram Jewellers, located in the Bhairaveshwara complex on Magadi Road in Bengaluru’s Madanayakanahalli at around 8:30 PM on Friday, July 25.
The CCTV footage shows masked intruders entering the store just before closing hours. They barged in brandishing their firearms and threatened the store owner, Kanhaiya Lal, and his staff.
They then swiftly collected gold ornaments displayed on the counter and fled the scene. One of the accused climbed atop the table and even robbed the jewellery displayed on the wall cases.
