"jewellery-shops"

Interstate gangs are increasingly targeting jewellery shops and ATMs on Hyderabad’s outskirts for quick getaways using highways and ORR routes. Recent cases in Chandanagar, Adibatla and Choutuppal highlight a trend, prompting police to urge traders to enhance security measures

The woman Putta Sunitha (40), a resident of Miyapur, disguised as a customer went to a jewellery store at KPHB on Saturday and on pretext of buying ornaments diverted the attention of salesman.

The gang posing as customers entered jewellery shops and after diverting the attention of shopkeepers, stole silver ornaments, police said.
