Mangaluru: An attempted robbery at an ATM of the South Indian Bank located at the Jayashree Commercial Complex, opposite Vidyadayini School in the Surathkal police station limits, was thwarted on Thursday night.

The daring thieves used an earthmover to break open the ATM. However, their plan was foiled when the ATM's emergency siren was triggered upon the earthmover shattering the ATM's glass. Startled by the alarm, the culprits allegedly fled the commercial complex area, leaving their mission unaccomplished.
