Robbers riding motorcycles escaped with gold and silver worth millions of rupees after snatching the valuables from employees of a jewellery business near Allah Wala Chowrangi on Karachi's Tariq Road.

According to Express News, the incident took place in the Ferozabad area, where motorcycle-borne armed suspects intercepted the jewellery shop employees and fled with the valuables.

Police personnel reached the scene shortly after receiving information about the robbery.

SSP District East Zubair Nawaz Sheikh said that, according to the jeweller's initial statement to police, a delivery rider was transporting 82 tolas of gold and four kilograms of silver from Saddar to the shop on Tariq Road when armed robbers riding motorcycles intercepted him near Allah Wala Chowrangi and snatched the valuables.

Ferozabad SHO Inam Junejo said the employees of Motiwala Jewellery, located on Tariq Road, were carrying the gold and silver in a shopping bag from Saddar when the suspects, who had allegedly been following them, intercepted them along the Tariq Road–Shahrah-e-Quaideen service road.
