“They fled with around 23 kg of gold and cash amounting to R9.5 lakhs,” said senior PI of police, Shekar Bagade from Navi Mumbai’s NRI police station. The robbery took place in broad daylight at Seawoods Dharave Railway Station Road. “We have got the car number. The accused also fled with the DVR of company's CCTVs so that no body would have footage to recognise and nail them,” said DCP Prashant Khaire.
When the robbery in Thane had taken place in Checkmate Company it was made clear that every police station should gather information about companies that have huge cash or gold with them.
They should register with the police so that police can keep an eye on their stores more frequently to avoid incidents such as this. “We will questioning all the employee’s of the Kerala-based company. It looks like an insider was involved,” said Bagade.
