In yet an­oth­er gas sta­tion rob­bery, a straw hat rob­ber and three ac­com­plices held up at­ten­dants at a Bar­rack­pore gas sta­tion and robbed them of $4,800 in cash.

Po­lice said around 8:15 pm, Prakash Jailal, 44, a shift su­per­vi­sor em­ployed with NP Ser­vice sta­tion was con­duct­ing sales at New Colo­nial Road Bar­rack­pore when the four rob­bers walked in. Two of them were car­ry­ing guns.

They or­dered Jailal to hand over the cash and he com­plied. The thieves then snatched the $4,800 and ran out of the ser­vice sta­tion, head­ing south of the com­pound.

They then board­ed a sil­ver-grey AD wag­on which was parked a short dis­tance. Wit­ness­es called the po­lice and pro­vid­ed the ve­hi­cle reg­is­tra­tion num­ber.

A wire­less trans­mis­sion was sent for all of­fi­cers to be on the look­out for the car. Sgt Dhunkarie and PC Silochan vis­it­ed the scene and ob­tained footage of the rob­bery. A man­hunt is still on for the sus­pects.

Guardian Me­dia will up­date this sto­ry as more in­for­ma­tion comes to hand.
