KARACHI: A gang of armed robbers allegedly stormed yesterday a courier office in the Ferozabad area and took off with Rs1 million cash after they had held the entire office hostage, ARY News reported Tuesday.
The alleged robbers also captured the digital video recorder as they fled with cash which means no CCTV footage record is left to investigate from office cameras.
The incident took place yesterday evening, said police. The robbers stormed the office and looted Rs1 million cash among other valuables and left with DVR as well, they confirmed.
There have not been any developments in the case while the police said the probe is underway.
