Pune: In a broad daylight heist, robbers on Monday attacked a jewellery shop owner in the main Laxmi Road market area and decamped with gold and silver ornaments, police said.
About seven robbers armed with choppers entered the shop in the afternoon and assaulted the owner and the staff inflicting serious injuries on them before fleeing with the booty.
Two of the culprits, however, were caught by members of public when the owner raised an alarm and came running out of the shop, bleeding profusely.
Police said a part of the stolen jewellery was recovered from the arrested robbers and a hunt was on to trace the absconders, suspected of belonging to an inter-state gang.
President of Pune jewellers Association Fattechand Raka has condemned the attack demanding greater security for jewellers' shops in the city.
