WATCH | Jewelry Shop Owner Foils Armed Robbery Attempt in Hyderabad
Hyderabad, January 3 (Maxim News): An attempted armed robbery at a jewellery shop in Hyderabad was foiled on Friday afternoon after the shop owner bravely confronted the assailants, forcing them to flee without looting any valuables. The incident took place at Rampally X Roads and was captured on the shop’s CCTV cameras.
According to preliminary information, two unidentified men entered the jewellery store with their faces covered, clearly intending to commit a robbery. One of the attackers was reportedly armed with a gun, while the other carried an axe, creating panic inside the premises. The CCTV footage shows the armed duo attempting to threaten and overpower the shop owner.
Despite the imminent danger, the jewellery shop owner displayed remarkable courage and resisted the attackers. Visuals from the CCTV footage show one of the robbers raising the axe and trying to intimidate the owner, while the other stood guard with the firearm. However, the owner fought back vigorously, preventing the assailants from gaining control of the situation.
Unable to carry out the robbery due to the resistance, the armed men eventually fled the shop empty-handed. The incident has since drawn attention on social media after the CCTV footage surfaced, with many praising the shop owner’s presence of mind and bravery.
Police officials have taken note of the incident and stated that efforts are underway to identify and trace the suspects. Officers are analysing CCTV footage from nearby establishments and checking possible escape routes used by the assailants.
Referring to similar incidents, police said that in December last year, they had busted a gang involved in comparable robberies. On December 4, police arrested four gang members and seized ₹34.6 lakh in cash, along with five mobile phones, five two-wheelers, a knife, a sweater and a muffler.
Police have urged jewellery shop owners and traders to remain vigilant and strengthen security measures, including surveillance systems and emergency response protocols. Further details regarding Friday’s attempted robbery are awaited as the investigation continues. (Maxim News)
