Soro: After a month’s lull, ATM loot again surfaced in Balasore district last night after unidentified burglars decamped with an unspecified amount of money by breaking open a kiosk of Axis Bank ATM located at Turigadia Bazaar under Khaira police limits.

The loot came to light this morning after some customers reached near the ATM for transaction and found its door open. They immediately took the matter to the notice of the police as well as the bank authorities.

After reaching the spot and conducting the preliminary investigation into the incident, a team of Khaira Police suspected that the loot could have taken place late in the night.

On the other hand, the bank authorities have so far failed to ascertain the exact amount of money looted from the kiosk as it was closed for past 2-3 days. They are busy in assessing the stolen amount.

In a similar incident a month ago, Bolero-borne burglars had decamped looting Rs 36 lakh from at least two ATMs in separate incidents in the district on May 4. They kiosks also caught fire after the loot as the burglars used gas cutters to open the cash boxes at that time.
