In a daring daylight robbery, four criminals targeted Rani Jewelers in Surhachatti, under the Pator police station area of Hayaghat block in Darbhanga district on Tuesday. Two of the culprits entered the shop posing as customers and asked to see gold lockets. After browsing for a while, they told the shopkeeper they would return shortly to make a purchase.

As the shopkeeper was placing the lockets back into their box, the two individuals snatched the box and fled the store. Outside, two other accomplices were waiting on a motorcycle. The four criminals quickly made their escape on the bike, leaving the area in a state of fear.

Pator Station House Officer (SHO) Chandrabhushan Kumar confirmed the robbery at the jewelry store. He stated that the police are actively investigating the incident and reviewing CCTV footage from the crime scene. The SHO added that no written complaint has yet been received from the shopkeeper. Once the application is submitted, a clear picture of the weight and value of the stolen jewelry will be available. Currently, the police are conducting thorough investigations to identify and apprehend the culprits.
