Masked Snatchers Target Woman Shopkeeper in Jaunpur, Crime Caught on CCTV
A masked chain-snatching incident in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, was caught on CCTV after two bike-borne assailants robbed a woman shopkeeper of her gold chain in broad daylight. Police have launched an investigation and are analyzing surveillance footage to identify and arrest the suspects.
According to officials, the victim, a woman who runs a grocery shop, was seated at her store when two men arrived on a Pulsar motorcycle. Both suspects had their faces covered. Without warning, one of the riders snatched a gold chain from the woman’s neck, and the duo immediately sped away, leaving the victim shocked but otherwise unharmed.
The entire episode was recorded by a CCTV camera installed outside the shop. The footage clearly shows the motorcycle pulling up, the rapid execution of the snatching, and the suspects escaping within moments. Police have taken possession of the video and are using it as a key piece of evidence to identify and trace the offenders.
Local police confirmed that a case has been registered and efforts are underway to track down the suspects. Officers are reviewing CCTV footage from nearby locations and questioning people in the area to establish the escape route and identify the individuals involved. Authorities have assured that arrests will be made soon.
The incident has once again highlighted concerns over street crimes targeting women and small business owners in urban and semi-urban areas. As the investigation continues, residents are urging increased patrolling and stronger preventive measures to deter such crimes and restore confidence in public safety.
