Attempt to break open bank locker failed

An attempt to rob the Kasargod Service Cooperative Bank in Kasargod by some unidentified persons has failed as they could not break open the locker.
The culprits gained entry into the bank, at railway station road near clock tower, from the rear side late last night by removing the grill and frame.
As their attempt to break open the locker by using a gas cutter and cylinder could not succeed, they fled away leaving behind the equipments.
CCTV cameras inside the premises were found broken and LCD monitors connecting them were thrown out. However, the culprits took away the computer hard disc.

The security personnel at the front side who noticed the incident at early this morning alerted the bank manager and Administrative Committee members who, in turn, informed the police.
Bank authorities said that cash and valuables inside the locker remain safe.
DSP, Kasargod, A Srinivas, Circle Inspector Sudhakaran inspected the spot.
Finger print experts and dog squad have been pressed into service, police said.
