Jamshedpur: Dacoits made a bid to rob a jewelry shop at Chandil Chowk Bazaar between 4 am and 5 am today. The dacoits had broken open the lock of the shop and were attempting to break open the shop when the owner saw the CCTV in his room and immediately sent his shop assistant to the store.
On seeing him, the dacoits fled firing shots in the air to scare people. The Chandil police arrived on the scene and started investigation. The cops found two cartridges in the shop premises.
Crimes have become rampant in the Saraikela-Kharsawan district. In the recent past a rail employee at Gamharia Station was held captive by armed dacoits wearing masks before carrying out dacoity. A similar incident occurred in another jewelry shop in Kandra.
The attempt at the Gamharia jewelry shop was the second of its kind within two months in the district. According to reports police have not been able to make headway in the investigation of the incidents.
