Four nabbed for robbery at shop

Four persons, including a minor, were apprehended for committing a robbery at knifepoint at a cosmetics shop in outer Delhi's Mangolpuri area, an official said on Saturday.

“Investigators scanned CCTV footage, which revealed the involvement of six individuals - four who entered the shop and two others who waited outside,” DCP (Outer) Sachin Sharma said.

Jatin (18), Yogesh (18), Parth (18) and a minor allegedly barged into the shop located at M-Block of Mangolpuri on Friday evening and held the shopkeeper at knifepoint before fleeing with cash amounting to Rs 8,000-Rs 10,000, he said.

A tip-off was received that the four suspects were seen near Bapu Park in Mangolpuri. A trap was laid and all four were apprehended from the location, the DCP said. The police said the knife used in the crime was recovered from Jatin, while looted cash was found in the possession of Yogesh and Parth. They are trying to trace two others who waited outside the shop.
