Vadodara: Five days after two men executed a daring heist of 5kg gold ornaments worth Rs 2.35 crore in the city, the crime branch sleuths are yet to get any clues about the duo.
The police said that the duo might be members of the Irani gang that is notorious for such thefts.
“The spot where the theft happened has no CCTVs around.
Also, the complainants approached the police several hours after the incident which gave the accused a leeway to flee.
It is possible that they have left the city after looting so many ornaments.
We are scanning CCTV footage of the city’s entry and exit points and the spots around the scene of the crime,” a crime branch official said.
“It is possible that the duo is a member of the Irani gang.
They may have been following the complainant after getting information about the jewellery from some insider.
It would take a couple of days to crack the case as we haven’t got strong clues,” the official added.
The complainant Vipul Dhakan had arrived in the city on June 16 with his salesman Jalpesh Lathigara and driver Praful Dangar.
They had brought jewellery weighing about 5.75 kilograms worth Rs 2.35 crore in two bags.
The accused had broken the glass of the car window to open the boot where the jewellery bag was kept.
