Four gangsters held in connection with ATM theft case
Four members of an interstate gang from Tamil Nadu were on Wednesday arrested in connection with the theft of money totalling Rs 58.97 lakh that was brought in a vehicle to be deposited in an Automatic Teller Machine here in May, police said.
Police intercepted a car here early morning and nabbed the four members of the 'Ramjinagar gang', including the leader Deepak, who had allegedly stolen Rs 58,97,600 from a parked vehicle that was brought to upload in the ATM, Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh M Bhagwat said.
Police seized Rs 4.1 lakh and three ganja packets containing about 6 kg of the narcotic substance from their possession, Bhagwat said.
The incident happened on May 7 when the vehicle of a cash-management firm that replenishes ATMs carrying the box containing the money reached a private bank's ATM at Vanasthalipuram here.
The vehicle was parked by the roadside.
Some miscreants threw some currency notes near the vehicle and diverted the attention of the gunmen
