Armed miscreants attacked the employees of a finance company and looted gold jewelleries, computers and other valuables from the firm’s office at Kunjakanta Lalit Nagar under the Dhenkanal Town police station on Saturday night.
Sources said seven to eight miscreants wearing helmets barged into the office of the finance firm and terrorised the employees by brandishing weapons.
When the staff resisted, the miscreants allegedly attacked them with sharp weapons and decamped with computers, gold jewelleries and cellphones of the employees.
Four employees of the finance firm, who were reportedly injured in the attack, were admitted to a hospital.
The firm’s branch manager Sunesh Pradhan said, “The robbers demanded money but when we told them that there was no cash, they snatched keys of lockers and searched the office. When they failed to get any money, they attacked us and looted six cell phones of four staffs, two laptops, a gold ring and a mangalsutra.”
Based on the complaint, police have begun a probe in connection with the incident.
