RAWALPINDI:
An armed robber stormed a medical laboratory on Taxila Road in broad daylight, held a female employee at gunpoint and escaped with cash and two mobile phones, as revealed by the CCTV footage of the incident.
The footage shows a woman alone inside the laboratory when a man arrives on a motorcycle, parks outside and enters the premises. As soon as he steps inside, he pulls out a pistol and points it at the lone female employee before snatching her mobile phone.
The armed man is also seen taking cash from a drawer and another mobile phone lying on a table before putting both in his pockets. Visibly distressed by the gunman’s presence and threats, the woman appears to comply with his demands.
The footage further shows the suspect allegedly forcing the employee, at gunpoint, to unlock her mobile phone.
According to police, the robbery took place at City Lab on Taxila Road on October 31. A case was registered on the complaint of Maryam Sudhir, who is responsible for the laboratory’s administrative affairs.
