JOHOR BARU: Thieves trying to cart away an automated teller machine (ATM) fled when the alarm went off early yesterday.
The incident occurred at a bank about 4am in Taman Daya here.
The bank, which had five ATMs, was equipped with more than 10 closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras.
Johor Baru Selatan district deputy police chief Superintendent Abdul Samad Salleh said he believed the thieves had kept a close watch on the comings and goings at the bank before springing into action.
"When police arrived at the scene, we found that one of the ATMs had been damaged. The alarm was blaring and had probably scared off the thieves."
He said no arrests had been made and police were waiting for confirmation whether any money had been stolen from the ATM.
He urged members of the public with information on the attempted theft to contact police.
