The two robbers, one of whom was shot by Police after they opened fire on the lawmen are now in Police custody. The victim of the robbery Meena Hansraj of Sea Field Leonora was robbed of a quantity of jewellery and cash shortly after she had finished selling at the Leonora Village Market on Saturday.
