Kundapur, May 4: A failed attempt to break an ATM and steal cash from it using gas cutter took place at an ATM near Canara Bank, Byndoor on late night of Friday, May 3. The incident came to light on Saturday.
The bank and the ATM are situated close to Byndoor Junior College. Miscreants, who entered the ATM at unknown time at night, carried a gas cylinder with them. They cut the top portion of the ATM with the help of gas cutter. But they could not break the ATM as the machine has a strong steel cover inside it. Meanwhile the miscreants left the gas cylinder at the spot and fled due to fear as they must have seen people passing on the road.
Byndoor police have registered a case and are conducting investigations. It is not known if the CCTV cameras have recorded the act.
