Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Police today zeroed in on three foreign nationals, who are suspected to be the key players behind the hi-tech ATM robbery which has shocked the state capital, and decided to seek Interpol's help.
A team of top police officers, including ADGP B Sandhya, Range IG Manoj Abraham and cyber and technical experts visited the ATM of a public sector bank at Althara junction at Vellayambalam here, where a suspected electronic device was found to have been installed.
They also collected evidence from the ATM counter.
"We will seek the help of Interpol. We are collecting evidence now," she said.
City Police Commissioner G Sparjan Kumar told PTI that police are trying to ascertain the whereabouts of the three persons, whose pictures had been retrieved from the CCTV, installed inside the ATM kiosk at Vellayambalam.
"We have already intensified our investigation to trace their whereabouts and establish their identity. We are also probing whether more persons were involved in the crime," he said.
The officer said the support of cyber and technical experts was sought to understand the technical method used by the fraudsters to withdraw the money.
It is suspected that the electronic device at the ATM counter enabled the fraudsters to collect the secret pin code and card details.
