Beware Of ATM Thieves Armed With Matchsticks

Bangalore, Jan 18: Bangalore police have arrested a 22-year-old man Manish Kumar Singh, hailing from Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, on charge of stealing money from other customers' accounts from the State Bank of Mysore ATM at Kempegowda Marg here on December 27. Police arrested him on the basis of cctv footage which showed Manish first inserting a matchstick beneath the Enter button, and coming out lying in wait for his next kill. As another customer swipes his ATM card and enters his PIN, he finds no transaction being done by the ATM, because of the stuck Enter button and then leaves the place. Manish first withdrew Rs 15,000 and again Rs 10,000 from the accounts of two different customers, but in his third attempt he was nabbed by policemen, who were lying in wait.
