Chennai: A four-member gang managed to rob Rs 19 lakh from a Bank of Baroda branch located on the outskirts of Chennai on Monday.
According to police, the gang members were in the 25-35 year age bracket and came to the bank in the afternoon, posing as customers.
After sometime one of them went near the branch manager while two others stood pointing weapons at the seven staff members and around 15 customers present in the branch.
Holding the bank cashier at gun-point, the gang members took the cash and escaped after locking the outer door.
What's surprising is the bank had no Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras or security personnel. There was just one guard at the ATM.
