Odisha ATM Heist: Miscreants Flee with Cash
On New Year's Day, six thieves tried to break into an ATM in Odisha.
They couldn't open it at first, so they took the whole machine out and broke it open.
They got away with a lot of money, but the police are now looking for them.
The thieves used a small truck to carry the ATM, but it didn't start, so they had to push it.
The police have the video and are checking it to find the thieves.
They think the thieves might have planned this before.
The ATM belongs to HDFC Bank and is managed by a private company.
Six unidentified miscreants broke into an HDFC Bank ATM kiosk in Odisha on New Year's Day.
They initially failed to open the ATM, so they removed the entire machine and dismantled it to steal Rs 5.72 lakh.
The thieves used a goods auto rickshaw to carry the ATM but had to push it after it wouldn't start.
Police have recovered CCTV footage and formed two teams to investigate and capture the culprits.
The ATM was managed by Financial Software and Systems (P) Ltd, which lodged a complaint with the police.
