A gang of thieves stole more than £100,000 worth of gold from a bank in India after digging a 10ft tunnel straight into the vault.
The passage, measuring some 4ft-wide, was dug in next to the State Bank of India’s Bhauti branch in Uttar Pradesh.They then turned the only CCTV camera away from them and opened the vault with a gas cutter – similar to a blow torch – which can cut through metal. Police are still investigating but it is believed the operation was pulled off with the help of an inside man familiar with the bank’s construction and architecture.Some 29 people had taken loans against the gold worth more than 10 million Indian rupees, the bank manager said.
