In a daring daylight robbery, ₹30 lakh was stolen from a cash van that services Automated teller machine (ATM) in Ahmedabad. The incident occurred on October 23 when the driver, Arvind Damor, was distracted by a stranger who claimed that some cash had fallen nearby outside the van. 

While Damor was distracted, the thieves managed to open the interlock door of the van and make off with a bag containing ₹30.22 lakh.

Vishal Vaghela, an employee of CMS Infocity responsible for replacing the ATM cash, discovered the missing bag upon returning to the office around 12.45 am. 

After realising what had happened, a complaint was promptly filed at the Anand Nagar police station.

The rising number of theft incidents in Anand Nagar is becoming a serious concern. Last month, two bikers stole ₹40 lakh from a building contractor at Titanium City Centre by falsely leading him to believe that his car tyre was punctured. While he was replacing the tire, the thieves stole the bag containing ₹40 lakh from him.
