Taking advantage of the lax security in the banks in various parts of the State, looters have been finding them to be soft targets and looting crores of rupees from them.
In yet another such incident, armed miscreants looted more than Rs 10 lakh at gunpoint from Andhra Bank’s Jamankira branch in Sambalpur district on Friday afternoon.
Sources said three miscreants, who came by a black Pulsar, barged into the bank in the afternoon and threatened the few bank employees and customers present at gunpoint and decamped with the money.
The looters, who are suspected to be professionals, also took away the CCTV camera hard disk with them, sources said.
Getting information, police rushed to spot and are investigating into the incident.
