A five-member gang, disguised as policemen, today robbed four jewellery store employees of Rs 3.9 crore near the city outskirts.
The incident took place around 4.30 AM at Nilambur bypass when the four persons were returning to Kerala from Chennai with the cash they got from the sale of gold ornaments, police said.
The disguised policemen intercepted the car under the pretext of checking it and then asked the occupants to accompany them in their jeep with the cash.
They were forcibly dropped off at a road junction and the gang then fled with the cash and car, police said.
The jeweller then lodged a complaint with police, who formed two special teams to track down the gang.
