Mobile phones worth lakhs stolen from Tonk Road shop

Jaipur: A gang of unidentified thieves stole mobile phones worth several lakh and cash from a mobile showroom near the Gopalpura flyover on Tonk Road early Thursday morning. The daring theft, which took just 15 minutes to execute, was captured on CCTV cameras.

According to the FIR filed by the store manager, the showroom was locked at around 9:30pm Wednesday. When the staff arrived Thursday morning, they found the shutter partially lifted, the glass door open, and several high-end mobile phones and cash missing from the counters and lockers. The Bajaj Nagar police, who arrived at the scene shortly after receiving the complaint, began reviewing CCTV footage and collecting forensic evidence.

As per the footage, six suspects were seen loitering outside the store around 4:54am Thursday. After surveying the area, one of them used a large sheet to shield the group from public view while another lifted the shutter from the centre. tnn
