Shillong, May 21: Four unidentified miscreants broke into a State Bank of India (SBI) ATM booth at Mawkriah in East Khasi Hills and made away with approximately Rs 28.13 lakh.
The incident took place around 3 a.m. on Wednesday.
Preliminary investigations suggest the thieves used a gas cutter to break open the ATM machine. CCTV footage from the ATM booth captured four individuals executing the burglary, all of whom appear to have operated with a level of coordination that hints at prior experience.
Police suspect the involvement of an interstate gang, as the method used closely resembles recent ATM thefts reported in parts of Assam.
A case has been registered at Mawngap Police Station, and efforts are underway to trace and apprehend the culprits.
