Sources said, "The police while conducting a panchnama of the showroom after the incident did not find any fingerprints and suspect that the thieves wore gloves. The cops also believe it could be the job of a professional gang as the culprits did not enter through the main door but used a small spare exit at the back of the shop to sneak in."
