Allahabad:
Two women were caught on CCTV cameras stealing jewellery worth Rs 1,25,000 in Allahabad.
The incident took place on Tuesday at 'Som and sons' jewellery shop in the civil lines area of Meena Bazaar in the city.
As one of the women diverted the minds of the shopkeepers, the other one quietly kept a jewellery box inside her purse. However, they did not realise that there were seven CCTV cameras installed in the place that captured their act.
To portray themselves as genuine customers, the women even ordered for a set of jewellery and paid Rs 1000 in advance.
They said that they would pay the remaining amount in the evening. However, later in the evening, when the shopkeepers were recounting the number of sets, they found one missing, which alerted them.
On checking the CCTV footage, the shopkeepers realised that they had been looted by the two women.
The city police was intimated about it and an FIR was lodged.
