**ATM Heist Foiled in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar; Thieves Flee Empty-Handed**
**Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra – August 5, 2025, 10:56 am IST**
A brazen attempt to steal an ATM from a State Bank of India branch in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar was thwarted early Monday morning, police have confirmed. Four unidentified individuals attempted to extract the ATM from the Shahnoorwadi branch using a sports utility vehicle (SUV).
According to police reports, the incident occurred between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. The suspects allegedly tied a yellow belt to the ATM and the SUV, attempting to rip the machine from its moorings. The attempt failed, and the ATM remained secured within the cabin.
The thieves also attempted to disable CCTV cameras inside the ATM cabin and used a screwdriver to force open the cash dispensing machine, but were unsuccessful. Facing these setbacks, they abandoned the heist and fled the scene in the SUV.
Following a complaint filed by the bank’s branch manager, police have registered a case at the Jawaharnagar police station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for theft, mischief, and common intention in a criminal act. An investigation is underway to identify and apprehend the suspects.
