Mumbai:
The Shivaji Park police have launched a manhunt to nab four unidentified people who robbed employees of a money-carrier company while they were carrying cash collected from BEST depots at Worli and Dadar on Thursday.
"Someone from the company could be involved as the accused were aware that the cash would be carried by the victims on bike and knew the route they would use," a senior police official said.
The police got sketches made of two of the four accused and circulated at all police stations and units across the city.
Two employees of Brinks Arya were on their way to deposit the cash collected from the depots in the bank. Atul Bandawitekar and his colleague were intercepted by a Maruti Esteem car on the Senapati Bapat road. Four men armed with choppers and knives threatened the two and asked them to hand over the bag containing Rs 7 lakh.
The accused fled in the car which the police later found near Matunga station. It belongs to a Powai resident and was stolen a few days ago.
The accused are suspected to have used the car for committing such robberies at other places. Acting on the details provided by Bandawitekar and his colleague, police officials got sketches made of two of the four accused involved.
