Two burglars broke into the Jugiana branch of UCO Bank in the wee hours today.

The thieves broke a window and entered the bank. They even broke an almirah. The incident came to light on Sunday morning when a nearby cycle shop owner informed the bank authorities about the window of the bank being broken.

After getting the information about the theft attempt, branch head Ajay Nishad and other bank employees rushed to the spot.

The CCTV camera footage revealed that the theft attempt was made around 1am. Two miscreants, with covered faces, broke the window and managed to get inside the bank.

Branch head Ajay Nishad said, “After reaching the bank, I called up Sub-Inspector Balwinder Singh of the Sahnewal police station. He reached the branch immediately and opened the gate. As we entered the bank, one Godrej almirah was found open and documents were scattered. No monetary loss has been found.”
