Archana Gautam Shares CCTV After Mumbai Cafe Cash Counter Theft
Archana Gautam says someone broke into her cafe in Mumbai and took its cash counter.
She says money was inside the counter too.
She filed a police report and asked Mumbai Police to find the person.
Police first advised her not to share the camera video because the person might hear about it and run away.
Gautam says she shared it later to ask the public for help and remind people to stay careful.
She said the person had a large stick, but this is her account of what happened.
Reports give different dates and times for the theft.
The cafe is called Oye Churros and is in Andheri West.
