The police have recovered an electronic cutter, a knife, a gas cylinder, a hammer, a screwdriver and two crowbars used to cut the bank safe.

The police arrested the accused and revealed two major robbery incidents in the bank. The police are now busy searching for other absconding members of this gang and have said that strict action will be taken against all the arrested accused.
