All at once, he started to spray chili-based irritants toward the jeweller’s eyes, leading to momentary blindness and agony and panic. The accused quickly took several gold rings from the counter  reports place them in the range of seven and fled the store before anyone else could stop him. From the shop CCTV footage, as everything was filmed on it now widely circulated through various media platforms, bringing a mass media and people’s concern into the issue.

The incident also horrified and injured a jeweller victim with the incident. He reported it to police officers as well, who have launched investigations, as they examine CCTV footage and place their finger on the suspect. The accused may have made a reconnaissance effort before the store was attacked but authorities haven’t yet found out exactly whether they did. 

Market traders who frequent little jewellery stores are often the victims of brief violent robberies, too. On the scene, local business owners noted that officials must increase patrolling and security, though “they must also be supplemented by expanded monitoring and response capacity,” the official added.

The police said they had previously told officials that they would arrest the accused as soon as possible as crews on the ground sifted through the footage to identify escape routes. They are also investigating the suspect’s record and past thefts. 

The crime video has spread widely and has stirred public outrage across the country even demanding stiffer penalties for breaches of these laws, as well as protections for small businesses operating in high-risk areas. It seeks to express as loudly as an alarm the growing need for security in our retailing environment and also the prevention of it like the alarm systems, trained personnel response systems and surveillance.
