Gang breaks into ATM, steal Rs 30.2 lakh in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: A gang of four men is on the run after allegedly stealing Rs 30.2 lakh from an ATM near Hoskote, Bengaluru. The robbery took place early on Saturday morning, around 3:15 AM, at the State Bank of India (SBI) ATM located at the Sulibele branch.
According to a report by Deccan Herald, the suspects, dressed in bedsheets and with their faces covered by red towels, broke open the ATM's shutter to gain access to the kiosk. Once inside, they immediately sprayed black paint on the CCTV camera to disable surveillance.
C.K. Baba, Superintendent of Police for Bengaluru Rural, explained that the gang used a gas cutter to break into the ATM machine and targeted a specific part of the machine where cash is stored. “The gang appears to be professional as they knew exactly where to strike and open the ATM machine,” he told DH.
A police source from Sulibele opined that the gang may have done a recce before striking, considering the way they managed to avoid detection.
The suspects arrived at the scene in an SUV, though no clear footage of their faces has been recovered. However, police have retrieved CCTV footage that shows glimpses of their movements and the vehicle they used.
