Delhi Cash Van Theft

The driver of a cash transit van who fled with Rs. 22.5 crore from southeast Delhi's Govindpuri area on Thursday evening was arrested by the police hours after the theft believed to be the biggest cash heist in the city.

A cash-van driver in the capital fled away with cash worth Rs.54 lakh Wednesday, police said.

Rs 55 lakh was stolen from a vehicle of a cash-handling company in Delhi's busy Karol Bagh area this afternoon, police said. The company was carrying the money in a taxi instead of strong vans that are usually used for the purpose - a clear security lapse.
