Just a few meters away from the Madhupatna police station here, two bike-borne miscreants snatched away a bag from a 40-year-old woman at around 2 pm on Saturday, police said, adding that the bag contained cash of Rs 6 lakh and a mobile phone.
“One Pravati Routray of Jagatsinghpur was travelling in a motorcycle with her brother after withdrawing the cash from a bank here when the miscreants snatched away the bag from her near the Samrat Cinema,” said Madhupatna PS IIC Tereskova Mohapatra.
Investigations into the case have already started after registering an FIR, the police said, adding that efforts were being made to identify the culprits after watching the footages of the CCTVs installed in the bank and nearby places.
