Burqa-Clad Women Steal Rs 10-Lakh Gold Necklace From Telangana Shop
A group of people went to a gold shop in a town in India called Zahirabad.
They pretended to be customers who wanted to buy jewellery.
While the shop workers were busy helping them, the group quietly took a gold necklace.
The necklace weighed about 70 grams and was worth around 10 lakh rupees.
After taking it, they left the shop.
The shop owner later noticed the necklace was missing and called the police.
Police are looking at camera recordings to find the suspects.
One report says the group had three women, while another says four women, along with a man wearing a cap.
