An unidentified man allegedly broke into a Medkart Pharmacy outlet in Navrangpura after lifting its iron shutter and stole ₹43,500 from the cash drawer.
Suspect Caught on CCTV
The theft took place around 5 am on September 13 at Shop No. 3 on the first floor of Ishwar Complex near Stadium Road, Navrangpura.
An employee had locked the pharmacy at around 11.30 pm on September 12. The next morning, a carpenter working at the outlet noticed that the shutter appeared to have been lifted from below and alerted area operation manager Vinay Kumar.
Kumar reached the pharmacy and inspected the premises before checking the CCTV footage installed inside the outlet.
The footage allegedly showed a thin-built unidentified man entering the pharmacy after lifting the shutter. He then approached the wooden cash-counter table and took money from its drawer.
₹43,500 Missing, No Medicines Stolen
The cash drawer reportedly contained ₹43,500. Although several items inside the pharmacy appeared to have been disturbed, no medicines or other articles were found missing during the inventory check.
The management later authorised Kumar to approach the police, following which the complaint was filed on September 18.
Navrangpura Police Begin Investigation
Navrangpura police have registered a complaint and launched an investigation.
Police are examining the CCTV footage and other available evidence to identify the suspect and determine how he gained entry into the pharmacy.
