Bangalore: Five armed hoodlums attacked the Shell petrol bunk on Hosur Road and decamped with Rs 17.5 lakh and seven cell phones on Monday morning. The gang threatened the 11 employees with an air pistol and choppers and locked them inside the office.
South east DCP Soumendu Mukherjee said, “These men escaped in their twowheelers.” Police suggested the gang could be novices, who lived nearby. Although they carried out the operation in 15 minutes flat, they dropped two bundles of currency notes in their hurry to escape. They stuffed the money in their pockets and a small cloth bag.
This dacoity comes 24 hours after three armed men abducted a jeweller on Airport Road and forced him to open his own jewellery store for them to loot. They escaped with 2.5 kg of gold jewellery. Later, the owner was blindfolded, sedated and abandoned.
