ALLAHABAD: The district police are yet to make a breakthrough
in the Rs 17.85 lakh UCO bank theft case. Despite carrying out
 raids and detention of suspects,
the police till were clueless till Thursday evening
about the criminals involved in the case.

Initial investigations revealed that it was a handiwork of a
professional gang having expertise in bank robberies.

The district police have contacted their Sultanpur, Agra,
Lucknow and Meerut counterparts where such incidents had
occurred earlier.

A senior cop told TOI that such gangs do not stay anywhere
 for long. The thieves cut the strong room and two cabinets
to take out the money. Police, however, said that the bank manager
 had gone to his house after locking the branch and found
 cash missing from cash boxes.
