Weeks after they tried to cut into an ATM machine to loot cash and ended up burning it and a lot of money, a group of miscreants is still on the run. The targeted ATM belongs to the DCB Bank and is located in Triveni Nagar in Malad East. The miscreants struck it in the wee hours of January 11. They were trying to rob the ATM by hacking into the machine with a gas cutter. The accused had cut a part of the plate on one side of the machine and the fire broke out while they were cutting another one, said a police official from Kurar police station. Around Rs 6.5 lakh in cash was reduced to ashes, along with most of the machine.
