Unidentified robbers on Monday looted Rs 15 lakhs from a private company cashier at gun point in the Industrial Area police station precincts. According to the police, the robbers intercepted a Shan Marketing Company vehicle at the ‘Jawa Mor’, snatched the money from the cashier sitting in the vehicle and fled from the scene. The police registered the case and started investigations.
It may be recalled here that on January 5, 2011 three unidentified robbers had looted a travel agency in one of the city’s busiest commercial centres. They had stormed into the Alnoor Travel Agency and took the staff hostage before looting Rs 4 lakh. The travelling agency owner, Zia Ahmed, registered an FIR against unidentified people with the Kohsar Police. The police is still clueless about the robbers.
