Police clueless about robbery

The police have got no clue about the robber who took away around ₹1 lakh from a petrol pump at Kunnamangalam by holding its owner and employees at gun point.

Police sources said they could not retrieve the footage from the closed circuit television cameras as the devices were in damaged condition. An officer in-charge of the probe said efforts were on to retrieve the visuals with the support of experts.

Fingerprint samples have been collected from the crime scene.

The police have also recorded the statements of a number of local traders in the area.

The robber, whose face was fully covered, entered the petrol pump around 9.30 p.m. on Wednesday. A. Aneesha, the owner, said the incident took place when she was about to leave the pump with the day’s collection.
