The Waliv police have managed to foil a robbery at the Muthoot Finance company’s Naigaon branch in the wee hours of Thursday. Though valuables worth Rs 3 crore were saved and the police arrested two of the three robbers, the third escaped after attacking two constables.

According to police sources, the three burglars bored a hole through the wall of the Muthoot Finance office situated in Vasai east around 2.30 am, and entered it. When they were trying to break open the safe, the alarm sounded. A patrolling police team rushed to the spot after hearing the alarm. They were attacked with the broken pieces and bricks from the wall that the thieves had bored through.
