: Thieves allegedly decamped with watches worth ₹1.3 crore from a showroom in Connaught Place on January 28.

According to the police, the showroom is located in Regal Building.

Complainant Mayank Barodia said, “Around 680 watches of brands like Seiko, Casio, Guess, Fossil, Titan, Omega, Longines, Rado, etc. were stolen. They also took away ₹1.5-2 lakh in cash.”

Mr. Barodia further said that the guard was not on duty that night since he was not feeling well.

No CCTV inputs

“The CCTV cameras in our shop are not kept switched on at night since the wiring is weak,” he said.

Meanwhile, the police are trying to scan the CCTV footage of nearby shops and ATMs. The police are also questioning the employees of the showroom.

“The accused haven’t been identified yet, but we are investigating the matter,” said a senior police officer.
