The video captures the moment when the thieves staged a medical emergency and one of them rushed to steal the puppies from the cage. The clip recorded a man walking towards the cage, opening it, and pulling out two puppies in a hurry. Without taking a second further, he ran toward the exit door clutching the animals in his arms.
As the incident broke out, three ladies at the store acted promptly and tried to restrict him. They stopped him escaping the store with the stolen puppies reportedly worth nearly seven lakh rupees (8,000 USD).
The robbery took place on Friday and reports stated the puppies were missing until Monday. The pet store has requested assistance for locals to help them nab the culprits and bring the puppies back.
