Gurgaon cash van loot: Former employee among six held; Rs 70 lakh cash recovered

Police said analysis of CCTV footage outside the showroom near the crime scene showed that the accused had escaped in an Alto car, which had a fake number plate. “Four crime teams were deputed and after investigation, the car’s original number plate was traced to Delhi,” said the commissioner.

Police said on the night of Thursday and Friday, a team arrested the car owner and recovered the vehicle and fake plate. During questioning, police said he revealed the names of four accomplices. Police said one of them went to UP and three men went to Vaishno Devi.

On Friday, three teams of the crime branch were formed — one left for Katra while two were stationed at Pathankot and at Shambhu border in Ambala.

Police said the team at Katra tracked the culprits to a hotel but they had checked out. The team there alerted those at Shambhu and Pathankot. SP Ambala was also requested for assistance at the toll plaza. The three men were arrested from Ambala toll plaza Saturday night, said police.

Police said raids were conducted on the night of Saturday and Sunday and two more accomplices were arrested.

“One of them had worked as a driver of the cash van in the same company last year and was aware of the route,” said the commissioner.
