According to the police, the gang divides into smaller groups before committing any crime. They conduct reconnaissance (recce) of ATM centers, specifically targeting those located in isolated or closed areas with external shutters. They source gas cylinders and cutting machines from nearby shops and steal vehicles prior to the heist.
The gang prefers to commit their crimes during midnight hours to minimize public presence and avoid detection. This strategy has allowed them to carry out several successful heists in the past.
Criminal Background of the Accused
The three accused individuals are also linked to four other criminal cases. The police have stated that their activities are not limited to ATM thefts but extend to other forms of criminal behavior. The gang’s ability to operate across different states highlights the need for coordinated efforts between law enforcement agencies.
Legal Action Taken
A case has been registered against the accused under Section 305 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), which pertains to theft. The investigation into this case is currently ongoing, with the police working to uncover more details about the gang’s operations and potential involvement in other crimes.
This arrest marks a significant step in combating ATM-related crimes in the region. The police have emphasized the importance of maintaining vigilance and using advanced investigative techniques to tackle such sophisticated criminal activities.
As the investigation continues, authorities are expected to release more information about the gang’s network and any additional suspects involved in these crimes. The case serves as a reminder of the persistent challenges faced by law enforcement in dealing with organized crime and the need for continued efforts to ensure public safety.
