Thieves stole Rs 8 lakh from a bank ATM on Chhindwara Road in Madhya Pradesh's Seoni district in the early hours of Monday, police said.

They used a gas cutter to pry open the ATM, situated by the road in Ganga Nagar area and without a security guard manning it, said City Sub Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP) Durgesh Armo.

"They looted Rs 8 lakh. We are checking CCTVs in the vicinity to nab them. They fled in a four-wheeler and left the gas cutter behind in a hurry. A case has been registered and probe is underway," Armo said.
