Three men, wearing what appear to be bulletproof vests, barged into a shop in Maharashtra's Palghar and looted jewellery worth lakhs at gunpoint.
Mobile camera footage shows the men openly flashing country-made pistols and rifles in full public view, and later boldly walking with the loot in plastic sacks.
They also fired multiple gunshots on Monday before fleeing.
The robbery occurred at around 4:30 pm at 'Lakshmi Jewellers'.
The trio had arrived on a motorcycle, entered the shop and threatened employees.
To discourage witnesses from intervening, they fired shots in the air before speeding away on their motorcycle.
Police attempted to chase down the fleeing robbers, but they managed to slip away, reported PTI.
The police are attempting to track down the accused.
