Man Caught Attempting to Steal ATM Cash with Iron Bar in Lucknow
Imagine an ATM that gives out money.
A man tried a sneaky trick to get extra cash.
He put a thin piece of metal, like an iron bar, into the part where the money comes out.
This trapped the cash.
When people tried to get money and thought the ATM was broken, they would leave.
Then, the man would come back, pull out the metal strip, and take the trapped money.
But, a security camera at the ATM saw what he was doing!
