The accused found more money in a drawer than in the heavy safe they had dragged home
While Nirav Modi and Vijay Mallya managed to steal thousands of crores from banks without even breaking a sweat, three small-time thieves got shortchanged when they burgled a bank in Mulund. After dragging a 100-kg safe for nearly a kilometre, the crooks found barely R50 in coins inside. The only winner in this story is the bank, which later realised that one of its own employees had quietly stolen the Rs 14.38 lakh that was supposed to be in the locker.
According to the police, the thieves were addicts in search of money to buy mephedrone or MD. They were high even when they broke into the bank on August 5, but this was one trip that would take them straight to jail.
