In Navi Mumbai`s Kharghar area, a jewellery shop was robbed at gunpoint on Sunday night i.e. on July 28th. The incident took place around 10 p.m. when three masked men, dressed in black and armed with revolvers, burst into the store. They threatened and assaulted the staff, firing 4 to 5 shots within just three minutes. Despite the violent nature of the robbery, no one was injured. The entire crime was captured on the shop`s CCTV cameras. The robbers managed to steal jewellery valued at over Rs 11 lakh before fleeing the scene. The Kharghar police have since launched a manhunt to apprehend the suspects.
