ATM robbery: Haryana-based gang nabbed
The Hindu
Police team arrests four persons after a dramatic chase near the check-post at Elavur
In a major operation, Tiruvallur district police solved two cases of burglaries at ATMs and nabbed a Haryana-based gang which was moving in a lorry in several States carrying gas-cutters and other implements.
On September 15, a masked gang entered an ATM at Elavur village in Arambakkam police station limits near Gummidipoondi and sprayed a liquid to blur the CCTV camera.
Later, the thieves downed the shutter and broke open the ATM using a gas-cutter.
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
