Two individuals, Ankush Sharma and Sunil Singh, were arrested after they attempted to break into a J&K Bank branch in the Hatli area. According to a police spokesperson, the two suspects tried to access the strong room of the bank by breaking through a side wall during the night between Tuesday and Wednesday.
However, a patrolling team noticed suspicious movements inside the bank premises, prompting immediate action. Although the burglars tried to flee in the cover of darkness, the police were able to trace them to the Kootah area of Hiranagar within hours. Both suspects were arrested and taken into custody.
The police department has praised the swift response of their patrol team, which helped prevent the burglary from being successful. Investigations are ongoing to understand whether the suspects had been involved in similar incidents in the past.
