    A diamond jewellery store was allegedly looted at gunpoint in the shopping hub of Sector 17 here on Sunday by three unidentified people, police said.
     
    Police sources said that diamonds and jewellery worth crores could have been looted in the daylight robbery.

    There were two staff members inside the diamond shop when the incident took place. The shop's security guard was not present when the incident happened.
