Jalandhar: A major incident unfolded on Monday morning at the Amit Jewelers showroom located in the Gadhipur area, as a sophisticated heist took place, resulting in the theft of gold and silver jewelry valued between 40 to 50 lakhs. The audacious robbery, reminiscent of a meticulously planned dacoity, involved a group of 8 to 10 perpetrators who executed their operation with precision.
The alarm was raised at 4 am when the proprietor, Amit, received information that the shutter of his showroom was found wide open. Reacting swiftly, Amit immediately contacted his brother, and together they rushed to the crime scene. Upon their arrival, a disconcerting sight awaited them – the front glass of the showroom had been shattered, and the safe was conspicuously absent. The thieves had managed to evade the security measures, leaving behind a trail of intrigue.
Law enforcement agencies promptly swung into action as officials from the local police station, the Focal Point checkpoint, and a specialized Dog Squad converged on the location. The Dog Squad, known for its efficiency in tracking, pursued the trail leading to a dry canal situated behind the showroom. Here, investigators discovered an empty safe, emphasizing the professionalism and strategic planning employed by the thieves.
The inventory loss was substantial, including approximately 40 kilograms of silver, 400 grams of gold, and a sum of 12,000 rupees. The perpetrators, caught on CCTV cameras between the time frame of 8 to 10, provided crucial visual evidence for the ongoing investigation. Authorities are rigorously examining the footage to identify and apprehend the culprits responsible for this brazen act.
In a parallel incident, Shri Nath Jewels, located in close proximity, also faced an attempted break-in. However, the owner’s prudent practice of relocating valuables to a secure location each day mitigated any potential loss. The burglars were thwarted by this precautionary measure, showcasing the importance of proactive security measures.
As the investigation unfolds, law enforcement agencies are leaving no stone unturned to trace the criminals and recover the pilfered items. The residents and businesses in the vicinity remain on heightened alert, underscoring the need for enhanced security measures in the aftermath of this audacious heist.
