BENGALURU: In a daylight robbery, cash amounting to Rs 13 lakh was stolen from a parked luxury car in Bengaluru, after a man smashed its window and took the money before fleeing on a two-wheeler along with his aide, police said on Monday.
The video of the incident has gone viral on social media platforms.
In CCTV footage, two men wearing masks can be seen approaching the BMW car outside the sub-registrar’s office in Bangalore’s Sarjapur on Friday afternoon. While one of them wearing a helmet is seen waiting, his accomplice smashes the window and steals the bag containing the cash. Thereafter, the two flee with the money on the two-wheeler.
Their identity is yet to be ascertained, a senior police officer said.
“Our preliminary investigation so far has suggested that the two men involved in the theft were from Tamil Nadu. A thorough probe is under way to identify the men and nab them,” he said. Superintendent of Police Mallikarjun Baladandi told PTI that a case has been registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and an investigation is on.
