The investigation into the ATM break-in attempt at Kakkanad last week has received a major shot in the arm with the police receiving CCTV footage of the suspects.
“We have got their CCTV images which have been faxed to all police stations across the State. We’ve also alerted police stations of neighbouring States which lie along the border,” a senior police officer said. A case has been registered at the Trikkakara police station and the probe is headed by Assistant Police Commissioner M. Binoy.
The footage suggests that the youths reached the ATM of Syndicate Bank at Vazhakala at 1.25 a.m. on Saturday. One of them, wearing a helmet, is seen entering the ATM cabin and applying spray paint on three of the CCTV cameras. However, he failed to notice another small CCTV camera placed at one corner.

He then gets out and again enters the cabin after removing his helmet. His friend too is seen following him. Though the duo managed to break the front portion of the machine, they failed to take out the money.
