Attempted burglary reported at IndiaOne ATM in Uppinangady, one arrested
Uppinangady, Apr 10: An attempt was made to break into an IndiaOne ATM kiosk and steal cash from the machine in Kalleri of Karaya village near Uppinangady. The incident, which took place at a kiosk located in a cooperative society building at Thannirupantha, has prompted a police investigation, resulting in one arrest so far.
