Some unidentified miscreants broke open two ATMs in Soro of Baleswar distrcit late on Wednesday night and looted lakhs of rupees from the dispensers. One ATM is of the Axis Bank while the other was of a private finance company at Bagudi Bazar in Soro.
The miscreants used gas cutters to break open the machines in both the incidents, locals said. The exact amount stolen from two kiosks was yet to be ascertained.
On being informed, police rushed to the spot and started investigation. The cops suspected the loots to be the handiwork of an inter-State gang, who have committed a series of such crimes in different parts of the country. Police are investigating into all the angles to trace and nab the culprits.
