Miscreants allegedly looted cash from an unmanned Automated Teller Machine (ATM) of the State Bank of India (SBI) at Padmapur Haat under the Haldipada outpost in Baleswar district on Friday night.
As per the initial reports, three masked miscreants entered the ATM kiosk and decamped with the cash after cutting the machine with a gas cutter. They also damaged the CCTV installed in the kiosk to avoid detection by police.
Sources said cash around Rs 32 lakh has been stolen from the ATM. However, the bank authorities are yet to make any statement. Soon after the matter came to light, senior police officials reached the spot and started further investigation in this connection. Forensic and other technical experts were also roped in to investigate the incident and get clues.
The cops are also scrutinising the footage from other CCTV installed near the ATM to identify the miscreants.
