They fled with a cash safe which had Rs 12.25 lakh,” he said.
A case was registered against unknown persons under Section 392 (robbery) of the IPC. Saad Miya Khan, additional DCP Noida Central, said police scanned the CCTV footage and identified the suspects. “The three people were arrested during a checking drive in Surajpur on Tuesday. During interrogation, they revealed that they had some loans to repay and hence they committed the crime,” he said.

Amazon officials reached the police station after the case was solved.
