A robbery using red pepper powder has become a hot topic at a jewelry store in India.

The woman who tried to commit the crime failed, but rather was assaulted several times by her owner.

According to local media such as the Times of India, a woman entered a jewelry store near a market in Ranipp, Gujarat, India on the 6th (local time) while looking around at jewelry and rings and asking questions, suddenly spraying red pepper powder on a store owner and trying to commit a robbery. She appears to have tried to steal precious metals by covering her owner's view with red pepper powder.




But her plan came to nothing.

Red pepper powder is something that didn't exactly hit the owner's eyes. The owner went over the counter, punched the woman several times, and pushed her out of the store. The CCTV video drew attention as it spread rapidly through SNS.

Police were aware of the incident and launched an investigation, but the jeweler reportedly refused to file an official complaint.




However, police are investigating whether the woman was involved in other crimes
