Coimbatore: The Pollachi police on Saturday arrested a 28-year-old man from Theni for attempting to break open a private bank’s ATM on the Raja Mill Road in Pollachi. The arrested person was identified as R Hariprasad,

The bank officials, who came to know about the incident, approached Pollachi east police and provided CCTV footage from the ATM,” a police officer said. Police launched a vehicle check. When Hariprasad tried to evade a police team that tried to stop his car, police gave chase and arrested him. TNN
