Robbers loot medical store, grocery shops

A series of armed robberies have shaken the residents of Dhoke Banaras in the jurisdiction of Race Course Police Station. Two armed robbers carried out back-to-back heists, targeting a medical store and three grocery shops in Milt Colony, making off with cash and valuables. CCTV footage of two of the incidents has surfaced, revealing masked robbers entering the medical store. In the footage, one can see the store owner holding his young son, believed to be around three to four years old, as the robbers enter. One of the armed men is seen heading directly to the counter and taking cash from the register, while the other stands guard with a pistol in hand, showing no regard for the presence of the child. The robbers also frisked the store owner, taking any cash found in his pockets. After fleeing the medical store, the same suspects targeted a nearby grocery shop. CCTV footage from the second location also shows the same individuals looting the store and fleeing the scene. The robbers did not stop there—they looted two more nearby grocery shops before disappearing. Police arrived at the scene after being informed and collected evidence. However, the suspects remain at large, and no leads have been found so far.
