Bengaluru, Nov. 23 -- Police have recovered Rs.6.45 crore in cash and arrested six people, including a police constable, in connection with one of the most sensational daylight heists where Rs.7.11 crore was robbed from an ATM cash-carrying vehicle in Bengaluru, officials aware of the matter said on Saturday. According to police, the incident occurred on November 19 when the accused, allegedly posing as RBI officials, intercepted a CMS Info Systems cash van at Bengaluru's Dairy Circle flyover and fled with Rs.7.11 crore. Till Friday night, police had arrested three of the accused -- identified as Ravi, a supervisory staffer of CMS Securities custodial vehicle; ex-employee Xavier; and Govindapura police station constable Annappa Naik -- and recovered 5.76 crore in cash. On Saturday evening, Bengaluru city (South) DCP Lokesh Jagalasar said three more suspects were arrested in Hyderabad and brought to Bengaluru. "The Siddapur police have arrested three more suspects -- Naveen, Nelson and Ravi -- who were hiding at a lodge in Hyderabad... We have recovered an additional Rs.70 lakh from them,'' south DCP Lokesh Jagalasar said, adding that efforts were on to trace the remaining amount and two more suspects. Bengaluru city police commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh the accused had been plotting the heist for nearly three months. "They had fixed the location almost 15 days in advance. The criminals arrived in a car with a Government of India sticker, intercepted the van claiming they needed to verify documents, and forced the staff into their vehicle along with the cash. They later dropped the staff near Dairy Circle and fled with the money," he said. Describing the case as "highly challenging" because the accused had erased all digital footprints, Singh noted that it took a team of 200 police personnel 54 hours to crack it. Pointing to violations by CMS Securities, he said: "According to RBI norms, the van must have two security personnel and two custodians besides the driver... Any dismissed employee must be reported... We will be writing to RBI about this."...
