Video actually of a jewellery shop robbery in Egypt<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alt News broke the video into multiple frames using InVid software and reverse-searched the images on Google. We found that the incident actually pertains to a jewellery shop robbery that took place in\u00a0 Marsa Matrouh, Egypt in May 2017. The theft and murder were reported by several Egyptian media outlets, including Al Arabiya<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“A source in Matrouh security department said that it had arrested one of the perpetrators, from the province of Al-Beheira, with 5 kg of stolen gold, a shotgun and knives. His accomplices managed to escape,”\u00a0<\/em>said the\u00a0Al Arabiya\u00a0<\/em>report.<\/p>\n

Recent social media claims suggest that a jewellery shop named ‘Mahalaxmi Jewellers’ in Kolhapur, Maharashtra was robbed. What we found is that a store of the same name was indeed robbed, however, the viral video does not depict this incident.<\/p>\n

According to a November 2017 report in\u00a0The Hindu<\/em><\/a>, burglars had drilled a hole in the ceiling of Mahalaxmi Jewellers, a pawn shop in Kolathur, Chennai. The thieves stole nearly 3 kgs of jewellery. However, there were no reports of injuries to staff and the incident wasn’t recorded on CCTV as the burglars had stolen the recorder as well.<\/p>\n
