A gang of women conducted a sophisticated robbery at a Boyanika store in Angul, Odisha, stealing sarees worth over Rs 7 lakh. The well-coordinated heist, captured on now-viral CCTV footage, involved distracting staff while concealing the expensive garments, and remains unsolved as police continue their investigation.
A daring saree robbery worth over Rs 7 lakh at a Boyanika store in Odisha by a gang of ladies who committed the theft remains unsolved, despite CCTV footage of the incident becoming viral online. According to police investigations, the gang of six women and one guy carried out the heist in broad daylight while acting as frequent clients. They allegedly arrived in a fancy Toyota Innova and entered the showroom without raising suspicions. Once inside, the heist proceeded with precision.
While a few members of the gang kept the staff engaged by requesting to examine different saree alternatives, others discreetly carried out the robbery. In what investigators characterised as a carefully organised crime, the suspects reportedly concealed around 25 costly tissue pata sarees behind the clothing they were already wearing, wrapping them around their waist and lower body.
The procedure was so flawless that nothing seemed out of place at the moment. The showroom workers discovered the stolen products only after doing a normal stock check. CCTV footage later revealed how the gang coordinated, distracting personnel, forming a human shield, and slipping out undetected.
