A burglar alarm that went off at an ATM in HMT Shatavahananagar within KPHB police station limits foiled the attempts of an unidentified person to steal cash.
The miscreant, who had disconnected power supply to the surveillance camera installed inside the Lakshmi Vilas Bank ATM, was trying to break the cash chest when the burglar alarm went off. On hearing the sound, residents abutting the ATM came out to enquire about the source of sound. The miscreant ran away on seeing them.
A team of forensic experts from Clues inspected the ATM centre to zero in on the offenders involved in the incident, a police official said.
