Cash machine robbery goes wrong
« on: 21 May 2012, 15:52:06 »


Got a picture here of my Local Halifax being repossesed of there cash machine  :D what the robbers didnt know is that machine is well and truly attached to the building so they got it that far and even the 4x4 couldnt shift it so they smashed it open and got away in another car fair play to them if they get away with it but doubt they did  ;D ;D

The bank near my parents' place had the cash machine removed from the window by the tipper of a stolen JCB a couple of years back. Building didn't put up much resistance to that. :o

I notice that its' replacement is in a concrete wall. ;D

I agree, tea leaves are tea leaves. The Saudis have the best way of dealing with them.  ;)

When we did the Police work round here, picking up stolen cash machines and safes was quite common. And there was a spate of burnt out 4x4s with remains of ATMs in them. The worst one I had to do had been ripped out of the COOP shop front with a 4x4 like the one in the pic, but had set off the dye pack, so they left it.
Which made it interesting for me to load it without getting covered in the damn stuff!

Just needs a little punctuation:

Jeeze! On the rise, then?  :y

Scum, pure and simple. I despise even the so-called gentlemen crooks, never mind the current breed of "want it, nick it".
