AP man in Hyderabad to attend Cybercrime course:
The suspect, Vadde Katamaiah, 24, hails from Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh and was in Hyderabad to attend courses related to cybercrime. During the course of training, he reportedly learnt techniques to steal cash from ATMs.
As per the police, Katamaiah studied technical features of ATMs belonging to particular companies and employed that knowledge to commit theft.
He used to place a technical device to block cash from coming out when a customer tried to withdraw money, Miyapur ACP Y Srinivas Kumar said. When the customer left thinking that the cash did not dispense the money, he would remove the device and take the cash for himself.
Another accused identified as Ramanjaneyulu, is on the run in the case and efforts are underway to track him down, he said.
