According to Malleswaram police ,the security guard, Satish, 23, and his aide Siddesh, 26, both from Davangere, had tried to loot cash from the ATM on December 24.
They used a concrete cutter and a gas cutter to break open the ATM but failed in their attempt.
Failure in the first attempt does not stopped them so they gave a second chance to their destiny only to try their luck at a bank branch and a jewellery shop. But they failed in their attempts again.
Satish reportedly confessed their failed heist during interrogation. He continued that they later went to Nelamangala where they tried to break into a Canara Bank branch and a jewellery shop, all in vain.
Satish, got a job only just a week before in a private security agency he tried to loot the ATM, had counterfeit the marks card of a friend to get the job.
Malleswaram police said that the address on his bogus marks card came to their help to traced Satish. The police get hold of Girish, friend of Satish living in Bangalore whose marks card he had misrepresented.
Girish revealed that Satish had taken his marks card on the grounds of getting an Aadhaar card.
Using his inputs, they nabbed Satish and his partner in crime at Laggere. Satish’s mobile number at the security agency was also useful in the arrest.
