Men with hoodies rob ATM in India
Two men disguised in women's hoodies robbed an ATM in India during the early morning of Sunday (11). The act was recorded by security cameras and shows the use of a torch and a knife. The police are investigating the case.
Two men disguised in women’s sweaters stole an ATM in India early on Sunday. According to local media, the suspects used an ambulance during the crime. The images of the action were captured by security cameras and show the duo in full criminal activity.
The case quickly gained repercussions because of the creativity of the criminals, who tried to impersonate women in order not to raise suspicions. The action, however, was recorded in detail and is now a central piece of the police investigation.
Disguise and Initial Approach
Security camera footage shows the pair wearing caps and blooming dresses to try to impersonate women. One of the men spray paints the cameras installed on the front of the ATM and then uses a machete to open the equipment panel.
The disguise, although rudimentary, was enough for the two to approach the machine without attracting immediate attention. The choice of flowery sweaters and caps indicates an attempt to hide masculine characteristics, such as physical wear and face.
After neutralizing the cameras with spray paint, the first suspect began to force the ATM panel with a machete. The movement is fast, but it demonstrates some familiarity with the structure of the equipment.
Use of a torch and dual action
The video also shows that the comparsa enters the cabin with a cutting lamp. While one of the suspects is on guard, the other uses the tool to release the safe from the machine. Sparks and smoke spread around the site during the action.
The cutter is a tool capable of generating extremely high temperatures, enough to cut resistant metals. In the video, you can see the intense brightness of the sparks and the smoke that takes over the environment, which highlights the risk of the operation.
While one of the men handles the lamp, the other remains attentive to the external movement. The division of tasks suggests prior planning and knowledge of the operation of the ATM.
Escape with the vault and destruction
According to the images, after a few minutes, the two manage to remove the safe and flee. The ATM's on fire. The escape occurred quickly, and the suspects left behind a scenario of destruction.
The fire in the equipment may have been intentional, as a way to eliminate traces, or accidental, result of the sparks of the lamp in contact with flammable materials. The flames caught the attention of residents, who fired the police.
The removal of the safe required joint effort, since the item is usually weighed and fixed with security systems. The pair, however, managed to remove it and transport it out of the cabin.
Police investigation and lack of details
Residents fired police after finding the damaged machine. Police said they opened an investigation but did not disclose how much money was taken. The amount subtracted remains unknown, and authorities have not informed whether any suspects have already been identified.
The use of an ambulance during the crime raises questions about the origin of the vehicle. Police did not confirm whether the ambulance was stolen, cloned or whether the criminals had any link to health services.
The lack of information on the amount taken is common in recent cases, as banks need time to account for losses. The investigation should include analysis of the images, witness testimony and tracking of the vehicle.
Repercussions and warning to the population
The case has resonated on social media and in the local press, drawing attention to the daring of the criminals. The video of the action was widely shared, generating debates about ATM security and equipment vulnerability.
Security experts recommend that ATMs be installed in locations with constant monitoring and structural reinforcement. The action in India demonstrates that criminals are willing to use aggressive methods and heavy tools to get money.
For the Brazilian reader, the case serves as a warning about the importance of avoiding withdrawing money in isolated places or during the early hours of the morning. Although the theft took place in India, the criminal modality can inspire similar actions in other countries.
Indian police continue to investigate the case, and new information may be released in the coming days. Meanwhile, the video continues to circulate as evidence of the creativity and violence employed by criminals.
