They had stolen the jewellery at around 2:45pm on Thursday, he said.
"They walked into the shop and in the pretext of making a purchase replaced some jewellery with imitation items. After the shop owner realised it later, he approached police," the official said.
All efforts are being made to nab the three women, who are as yet unidentified, the Dombivali police station official said.
In a separate incident, a 36-year-old man detained in connection with a cheating case allegedly attempted suicide at a police station in Maharashtra's Thane district, police said on Friday.
The incident took place at <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/thane-11-labourers-rescued-by-activists-from-captivity-in-bhiwandi-23327052" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Narpoli police station in Bhiwandi</a> on Thursday when the man identified as Anil Murarilal Gupta was detained for his involvement in a cheating case, inspector Pramod Kumbhar said.
The Bandra police nabbed Gupta, a resident of Narpoli, and took him to the local police station to complete formalities, he said.
Gupta went to the washroom and consumed a poisonous substance. He was immediately administered first aid, the official said.
The accused feared arrest in connection with the offences of cheating registered against him with the Bandra and Dindoshi police stations, he said, adding that a case under section 309 (attempted suicide) of the Indian Penal Code has been registered.
Meanwhile, there will be a heavy deployment of police personnel in Maharashtra's Thane city to maintain law and order on New Year's Eve, a senior official said on Friday.
