A gang of robbers allegedly played the old trick of pretending to be
police and robbed the residents of a house at Dodangaslanda, cash and
jewellery worth over Rs 110,000 recently, Gokarella police said.
It is alleged that after gaining entry into the house, on the pretext
of policemen engaged in a search operation, the residents were
threatened at gun point, and the robbers had got away with the loot. The
alleged gang leader has been released from prison recently after being
convicted on felony earlier.
A search operation is on, to arrest the suspects, the police said.
