ATM Loot Bid Foiled, One Held In Balasore

Balasore: A youth was arrested while allegedly attempting to steal money from an ATM kiosk installed at Jaleswar railway station in Balasore district on Saturday night.

The accused has been identified as Subrat Ray.

According to sources, Ray was attempting to break open the machine after damaging the CCTV camera installed inside the kiosk when the Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel caught hold of him.

In a similar incident, on June 12, a group of unidentified miscreants had ransacked an ATM of State Bank of India (SBI) at Ranipatna Chhak in Balasore town but failed to steal cash from it.

The miscreants had damaged the front portion of the machine but fled the scene when a patrolling team of police reached the spot.

Earlier this month, two other ATMs of SBI located at Sunhata and ITI Chhak in the town were looted by miscreants in a similar way. An amount of Rs 36 lakh was looted from both the machines.
