Chennai:In a cinema style robbery, a gang which came in a two-wheeler rammed the rear side of a car carrying money collected from Tasmac shops in Kanchipuram district on Tuesday night. When the car driver came out and questioned the gang, they quickly got into the car and drove away with the Tasmac collection of Rs. 1.5 crore.
The agents of a private bank are collecting the Tasmac collection in Kanchipuram district. A private bank agent Das (52) and driver Habeeb Rahman (38) went in a car and collected cash from about 20 Tasmac shops. At a shop near the forest area at Oragadam, the agent went to collect the money while the driver was sitting in the car.
At that time, a gang which came in a two-wheeler rear-ended the car. When the driver came out and quarrelled with the gang members, they suddenly entered the car and drove away with a collection of Rs 1.5 crore.
The robbers took the car for about ten kilometers on the Walajabad-Padappai road and stopped at Karanithangal, near a private engineering college. They transferred the cash into another car and escaped. The police who received information that the car was left near the private college reached there. The police found Rs 18 lakh on the road and recovered it. According to police, the money could have dropped when they were transferring money to their car. Sriperumbudur police have formed five special teams to find the car and recover the money.
The police are investigating all angles including links with any Tasmac worker or the agency. They are questioning the agent and the driver and analysing the incoming and outgoing calls in their mobiles. They are also examining the CCTV footage in the area to find the gang members.
