Washington:
A jewellery store owned by an Indian-origin man in the US state of Kansas has been ransacked by thieves who also stole valuable jewellery items, a media report said.
The Karats Jewellers, owned by Akshay Andy Anand, was ransacked and looted by thieves on Sunday night.
The thieves used stones to smash the glass doors and took away ornaments kept in cases, fox4kc.com reported.
Mr Anand's family has been in the jewellery business for six-generations in India, but he was the first one to bring the family business to the US.
"I have raised it like a child for 10 years, and we have put a lot of hard work into bringing this business as one of the top jewellery stores in the city," Mr Anand said.
"It takes a lot of work to keep this machine going, and then someone can so easily go in and damage your property," said Mr Anand.
He further said that police are working to identify cars and descriptions of the suspects.
