Five Masked Gunmen Loot Hunsur Jewellery Store in 9-Minute Daylight Heist

Investigators are reviewing CCTV to identify the gunmen.

Overview

  • The gang arrived on two motorcycles around 2 p.m., threatened staff at gunpoint, forced jewellery into a bag, and fled within minutes.
  • Eyewitnesses reported a shot fired into the air as the assailants escaped, and one helmet was left behind at the scene.
  • Police say a few kilograms of jewellery were taken, with the exact weight and value still being verified.
  • CCTV captured the robbery and employees are being questioned, and a five-member police team has been formed to hunt the suspects.
  • Senior officers inspected the shop as investigators probe possible security lapses; the store reportedly lacked daytime security and police issued a safety advisory for jewellers.
