Employees and customers of a Sunnyvale Indian market were victims of a takeover-style robbery Monday night, according to police.
Just after 8 p.m. two armed men entered the Wolfe India Bazar at 854 Old San Francisco Road and stole an undisclosed amount of cash from the market and items from customers inside the store, according to Doug Moretto, a captain with the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety.
Early reports indicate there were three or four customers in the store at the time of the robbery, Moretto said.
The robbers fled on foot and were not caught. No one was injured in the incident.
"It is not a case that we haven't handled before," Moretto said. "We do have robberies of businesses where customers are present. However, it does not occur frequently in this community."
The takeover-style robbery comes on the heels of similar robberies throughout the Bay Area, especially in East Bay locations such as Oakland, Emeryville and Hayward.

----------------------------------------

Has anyone heard this news in yesternight's news.
Here are some precautions we can all think of.

- Dont take your superfluous accessories while shopping, Things like your ATM card, extra cash, Driving license,cell phone etc can be left safely in car before entering the shop.
- Always have some handy cash 20-40$ , which you should hand out immediately in such scenario.
- Avoid going to market in late evening. Broad day light is safer bet.

Please feel free to add more advices.
