The police have also formed teams of various police stations from South Goa to launch a search for the three culprits involved in as many as four thefts reported in various parts of South Goa.
In the lookout notice the police have given two photographs of the accused – one which was trapped in the CCTV camera, while robbing a house at Loutolim and the other photograph is the one which was clicked by the PSI Swapnil Naik when the robbers attempted to escape on a two-wheeler after shooting at the police at Zuarinagar, Sancoale.
The Verna police have registered a case against the accused under Sections 457, 380 and 511 read with 34 IPC and under Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act.
Our Team Margao adds: A black Bajaj Pulsar 150 motorcycle, bearing the registration number KA-31-Y-5847, which was used in the robberies was stolen from Rumder-Nuvem under the jurisdiction of the Maina-Curtorim police station.
The motorcycle was subsequently used by three unidentified persons in attempted thefts/robberies at Carvota-Loutolim, Zuarinagar-Sancoale and Mandopa Navelim and also at other places in the South Goa.
However, the robbers abandoned the vehicle after firing at the police during the incident at Zuarinagar-Sancoale. The two-wheeler has now been seized by the police.
