After failed robbery bid at bank, burglars 'steal' CCTV footage

They came to rob a bank, but failed. So, to make sure they don't go down for "nothing", the "smart" robbers made away with the CCTV footage of their bungled attempt.
The incident came to light Sunday morning when residents of Sanjauli in Shimla found the locks on the local branch of Punjab National Bank's main gate had been forced, police said.
Investigating officer Madan Lal said the robbers hammered the CCTV cameras and made away with the disc after they failed to steal cash and other valuables from the bank. "The thieves managed to trace the hidden recording device and decamped with the compact disc on which CCTV footage is stored," he said.
Interestingly, earlier this year, following a similar failed attempt to rob Punjab National Bank's Ghora Chowki branch, CCTV footage had helped police arrest the accused.
Manager Shyal Lal has filed a complaint with the police. An FIR has been registered under Section 457 and 511 for burglary attempt, police said.
