Mumbai crime: Security guard helps armed men loot Rs 2 crore from ATM cash van

By the time the van reached Vile Parle, the driver, guard, and supervisor had started to feel drowsy. As the van stopped near an ATM, a Maruti Omni intercepted the vehicle and around 5-6 men, armed with pistols, alighted. Threatening to shoot them dead, they took the cash from the van to their own car, and along with their accomplice from the bank, fled from the scene.

Milind Bharambe, additional commissioner of police (west region), said, “The Maruti Omni van had armed men who fled with R1.95 crore, with the help of the security guard of the van, who also ran away with them. The van had come to refill cash in the HDFC bank ATM. We are hunting for the vehicle and the accused.”
