India
A young Tanishq employee in Ghaziabad pulled off a major heist, stealing jewelry worth over ₹4 crore to pay for his wedding.
Nitin Verma, just 23 and about one-and-a-half months into the job, was arrested along with his girlfriend and father for their roles in the plan.
Tanishq employee swiped key, ₹3.1cr recovered
Verma threw a party for coworkers and got the cashier drunk so he could swipe the store's entrance key.
With no alarm system or proper night security, he managed to steal high-value jewelry in just 25 minutes before anyone noticed.
Police later recovered most of the loot, ₹3.1 crore in jewelry and some cash, but are still tracking down what's missing and other possible accomplices.
