Three special teams have been formed to nab the gang which looted gold loan firm Muthoot Mini Financiers at Mariyappanapalya near Kengeri on Outer Ring Road on Friday morning.
A senior police officer said, "The CCTV footage from nearby buildings is being examined. Three teams have been formed. They have visited the spot near Nelamangala where Nagendrappa, the manager of the firm, was held captive. The employees are being questioned, besides the security guards."
"All possible angles are being looked into and several people are being questioned. It is suspected that they had planned in advance to commit the crime, as they knew when the bank would close and where exactly the digital video recorder was placed," the officer said.
On Thursday evening, five persons, with one posing as a policeman, abducted Nagendrappa and managed to take away the keys, along with the locker password, from him. On Friday morning, the miscreants, along with Nagendrappa, went to the bank and made away with 4.3 kg of gold and Rs 1 lakh in cash.
