Mysuru: The four-member gunmen gang, who looted a jewelry store and killed a young man last week in the city, had targeted several more stores here and had planned crimes since a month.
Gang members arrived at Mysuru a few weeks ago and did juggle the area around the jewelry store in the city they were registered to loot including those in Vidyaranyapuram where they succeeded, but were arrested, the police stated.
Gangs and conspirators have identified around 4-5 stores located far from the business center area and have featured maximum jewelry at the exhibition.
Before the incident on August 23, the gang made a futile effort in another store where the owner insisted that they left footwear outside the store, which caused the argument between them, the police added.
The police have not arrested one of the perpetrators.
A man was seen in the recording along the shutter before committing a violation was still runaway.
An officer said the business competition was thought to be a motive behind the crime.
A jewelry from Mysuru conspires with several people in Bengaluru and Rajasthan to loot several shops run by people who are known in the city.
“How they work together and group people from different countries are being investigated.
So far, eight were ordered in this case and from them seven in police custody,” the officer added.
