3 arrested for looting ATMs, wine shops

Fatehgarh Sahib, July 1

The police have arrested three ‘contract employees’ posted at the Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib for allegedly looting wine shops and ATMs.

Police officials said during preliminary interrogation, the suspects said they were part of a gang involved in thefts at wine shops and ATMs.

Sources said their accomplices had been arrested by the Patiala Police and would be brought on production warrant.

A few days ago, an FIR was registered on a complaint by Surinder Kumar, a salesman at Tinku wine shop, Sirhind. He had claimed two bike-borne youths took away the cash box containing around Rs 40,000. The complainant read a part of bike’s registration plate and the police later nabbed three suspects. — OC
