Shanghai police is hunting four men suspected of robbing a local shop of jewellery worth 800,000 yuan (about 100,000 U.S. dollars), according to the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau Monday.

Initial investigation showed that the four men drove to the jewellery store in Jiading District at 6:40 a.m. Sunday. Three of them, armed with knives, rushed into the store when a shop assistant, surnamed Zhang, just opened the door to do cleaning. The men bound up Zhang and took away a strongbox which contains jewellery worth 800,000 yuan.

Zhang reported the robbery to police at 7:24 a.m., according to local public.

Investigation into the case is still under way.
