1,000 tolas of gold looted from jeweller's
Robbers looted 1,000 tolas of gold ornaments and Tk 10 lakh from a jeweller's at Kapasia Bazar in Gazipur early yesterday.
A gang of about 15 to 20 robbers broke into Monihar Jewellers, shortly after 5:00am and tied the hands and legs of its two staff -- Subol and Haresh -- who stayed the night at the shop, said Swapan Bhoumik, owner of the jewellery.
When the two employees cried for help, locals rushed to the scene and chased the robbers.
Police later recovered two empty boxes, in which the money and ornaments were kept, and equipment the robbers used for breaking locks, in Kapasia and Harinal.
“Nearly 1,000 tolas of gold and Tk 10 lakhs were kept in the vaults,” claimed Chandan Rakkhit, brother-in-law of the shop owner.
Jamal Uddin, officer in-charge of Kapasia Police Station, said Subol and Haresh were detained for quizzing.
