Nagpur: In a daring act of robbery, a gang of thieves pulled off a high-stakes heist by uprooting an entire ATM machine and escaping with it. The incident, which took place in the Khaparkheda area near Nagpur, was partially caught on CCTV cameras despite the criminals’ attempts to destroy evidence.
The thieves meticulously planned their operation, ensuring minimal traces were left behind. To wipe out evidence, they burned CCTV cameras inside the ATM booth and covered the walls with black paint. However, one surveillance camera outside the booth remained active and captured the entire theft. The footage shows the criminals forcefully removing the ATM from its base, loading it onto a Tata Max vehicle, and vanishing into the night before anyone could raise an alarm.
