Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In a daring break-in around 10.30 pm, unidentified miscreants attempted to commit theft inside a private bank branch on Bombay Hospital Road in the Lasudia area. The thieves cut the shutter lock and entered the bank, trying to break open the lockers. However, due to the bank’s high-security system, they could not steal anything and fled. The incident also involved a young woman.
According to Lasudia police, based on a complaint by branch manager Yash Verma, a case has been registered against unidentified accused. The incident took place on November 22.
The manager told police that the bank’s security guard informed him over the phone that the shutter lock was broken and the shutter was partially open. Upon receiving the alert, the manager and other staff members rushed to the bank.
Inside, they found the cupboards and locker doors open, making it clear that the miscreants had searched the premises. Surprisingly, no cash, documents, or valuables were missing. The police believe the accused were unable to break the high-security locks or may have sensed some disturbance, causing them to flee.
Shutter lock cut using iron rod and cutter
