Four persons came in a sports utility vehicle (SUV) and tied the ATM to it with a yellow coloured belt. They tried to pull the ATM with the help of the vehicle but did not succeed, a police official said. The thieves also damaged the CCTV cameras installed inside the ATM cabin and tried to open the cash dispensing machine with the help of a screw driver, but failed in that also and fled, he said. Following a complaint by the bank's branch manager, a case was registered at the Jawaharnagar police station on Monday under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections for theft, mischief and common intention in criminal act, the official said.
