One shot dead as Tamil Nadu police nab gang involved in ATM robberies in Kerala According to the police, an armed gang broke into three ATM kiosks of a nationalised bank using a gas cutter in Thrissur, Kerala, in the early hours of Friday A 40-year-old driver of a five-member armed gang, which allegedly broke into three ATM kiosks of a nationalised bank in Kerala, was gunned down by the Tamil Nadu police in Namakkal district on Friday. The gang members, all hailing from Haryana, were arrested after a chase. According to the police, the gang broke into the ATM kiosks in quick succession in Thrissur in the early hours of Friday. The gang, infamous for using gas cutters to break into ATMs, allegedly escaped with the looted money in a car. They then headed towards Tamil Nadu in a truck after concealing in it the car used for the crime. ‘Gas cutter gang’ Kerala Police then alerted its Tamil Nadu counterpart about the truck. “From the very first look at the crime scene, we had a hunch that the ‘gas cutter gang’, infamous for similar operations and active in areas such as Mewar and Haryana, was behind this. They had carried out a similar operation in Kannur in 2021. They used to follow a modus operandi of using trucks [to flee], which they had followed in Kannur as well. We issued alerts to police chiefs of border districts, especially Krishnagiri, Erode, and Namakkal [in Tamil Nadu], to look out for suspicious-looking cars and container trucks,” R. Ilango, District Police Chief (Kochi City), told Mlife Daily.
