TRICHY: A three-member gang attempted to steal cash from an ATM of City Union Bank at Thuvakudi in Trichy in the early hours on Wednesday.
The gang members, with their face covered with clothes, barged into the ATM room and caught hold of security guard V Marudhu, 60.
While one of the accused pinned Marudhu down to the floor, the others started breaking open the ATM. They broke open the door of the machine. However, their attempt to reach the container where the cash was kept went in vain.
The disappointed gang fled the scene. On being alerted by the watchman, bank officials and the Thuvakudi police rushed to the spot. The police said that the cash in the machine was intact.
They said the identity of the accused could not be ascertained as their face was completely covered.
The police were in the process of checking footages from CCTV cameras in the area to identify the gang members.
