A woman was allegedly caught on CCTV stealing a wallet containing ₹15,000 in cash and an American Express credit card from a gym owner’s bag at a Starbucks outlet in Ahmedabad’s Navrangpura area on Saturday afternoon.
According to the complaint, 35-year-old gym owner Ravindra Yadav visited the Starbucks outlet near Law Garden around 3 pm after inspecting locations for a new gym. Around 4 pm, he stepped outside the cafe to answer a phone call.
After returning, Yadav finished his tea, paid the bill online and collected his bag before leaving for his car. He then realised that his wallet was missing.
Yadav returned to the cafe and checked the CCTV footage. The footage allegedly showed an unidentified woman placing her bag next to his and later taking his wallet.
The woman allegedly used the credit card to make purchases worth ₹27,000 at different shops.
Navrangpura police have registered a case and are examining the CCTV footage to identify the woman.
