"JEWELERS SHOULD NOT OPEN EARLY IN THE MORNING"

The other hit the employee on the head with the butt of the gun. They took nearly 1 kilogram of gold and fled. I hope they are caught as soon as possible. Necessary actions will be taken. We advise jewelers not to open early in the morning. We want them to open around 10:00 AM. May God help us," he said.
