<p>The police on Wednesday said that two unidentified persons allegedly stole 6.5 kg of gold ornaments valued at nearly Rs 7 crore from a <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-crime-news/article/watch-video-maharashtra-masked-robbery-attempt-foiled-after-jewellery-shop-owner-attacks-gun-wielding-thieves-four-gun-wielding-thieves-in-thane-23375408" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Thane jewellery shop</a>, reported news agency PTI.</p>
<p>They said the heist took place between 1:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Tuesday at the Thane jewellery shop, located near the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/thane-six-arrested-for-cheating-mira-road-trader-of-rs-25-lakh-23355241" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Thane</a> railway station.</p>
<p>The thieves first broke a lock of the staircase door leading to the first floor of the establishment and then forced open the Thane jewellery shop's shutter, granting them access to the jewellery displayed inside, the Naupada police said, reported PTI.</p>
<p>There was an absence of conventional security measures within the store. Unlike standard practices where jewellers secure valuable ornaments in safes overnight, the valuables were openly displayed, making it easier for the thieves to complete the heist in a short span of time, an official said, reported PTI.</p>
<p>"This unusual lapse in security facilitated the robbers in the swift theft," the official said, reported PTI.</p>
<p>The Naupada police have registered a case under relevant provisions against the unidentified culprits.</p>
<p>Multiple investigation teams have been deployed to trace the culprits and recover the stolen gold.</p>
<p>The authorities were also examining CCTV footage of the area, questioning locals, and analysing forensic evidence to identify the perpetrators, the police said, reported PTI.</p>
<p>"Our teams are gathering evidence and pursuing all possible leads to resolve this sophisticated robbery," the official said, reported PTI.</p>
