Thieves loot Pune-based American PNG jewelers store
New Delhi:
In what looked like scenes from a heist movie, twenty masked men broke into a jewelry store based in Pune, USA, and emptied it.
CCTV cameras at the PNG Jewelers store in Sunnyvale, California, show the thieves, all masked and some wearing hoodies, running into the store after breaking the glass doors. Images of the robbery were widely shared on social media.
A lone security guard was easily overpowered.
Once inside, the thieves are seen spreading throughout the store and breaking all the tables where the jewelry is kept.
Each table seemed to have a pre-designated thief as they broke the glass and placed the loot inside their backpacks.
The entire act lasted less than three minutes, according to CCTV footage. Their method indicated that they were familiar with the location’s layout, as they may have inspected the store closely before launching the hit, according to local media.

PNG Jewelers has 35 stores in India, the US and Dubai, it says on its website.
