The matter came to the fore after some locals saw the ATMs gutted and alerted police regarding the same.
“It seems that the miscreants have used gas cutters to break open the ATMs and decamped with the money. Special police teams have been formed to nab the robbers,” Balasore SP B Jugal Kishore informed.
Meanwhile, a team of forensic experts reached the spot and collected evidence from the spot.
