Some burglars uprooted an entire ATM and decamped with nearly Rs 30 lakh in it after they failed to break into the system, police said today.
The incident took place in southwest Delhi's Chhawla area and the police were informed about it yesterday.
Police said the thieves sprayed a chemical on the CCTV cameras so that they could not record their activities.
There were no clear footage of the incident, they added.
"It is suspected that the accused wanted to break open the ATM and after they could not do so, they uprooted it and took it away," the police said.
The machine contained cash close to Rs 30 lakh, they added.
Police have recovered some unclear footage in which two people can be seen inside the ATM booth. Police suspect that there were more people outside the ATM kiosk.
