A Vasai woman was the talk of the town on Thursday for her bravery in foiling a robbery bid at an ATM booth. Late on Wednesday night, while the thief inside was trying to break the machine, the daring 45-year-old woman locked the shutter from the outside and got him arrested.

Sources said the thief, now identified as Salim Mansoori, entered the Bank of India’s ATM booth at Fatherwadi, Vasai East, around 2.30 am, downed the shutter and started breaking the machine.
