They used a digger to steal a cash machine

[Django x2]

5 Cassettes per machine, depending on the denomination output you're looking at a max of £100k if full.

Likely the same gang that have been doing it in the past, there was a recent one at Theydon Bois, at a Tesco Express, the Tesco's had to be shut for months while they repaired the damage, what was more worrying was how the locals survived without the Tesco Express.

Seems to happen regularly enough to make it worth while. Even if the cost of fitting them outweighs what might be recovered, if you're catching criminals at the same time then it's well worth it.

There's something like 68,000 ATMs in the UK, it'd be an expensive outlay. The banks and ATM operators aren't really concerned with catching criminals.

To be honest you don't need to do it on all of them, just the ones that are more likely to get taken, like ones in villages where a police response may take longer.

I love how they just dump it in the hole in the roof of the van, would have been great if the suspension gave out when he pushed it down.

Saw a property show where a couple were renovating an old bank but a condition of the sale was that the ATM had to stay active and was currently accessed through the property. They were going to build a partition to keep it separate from the house but with these types of robberies going on I wouldn't want one on my property.

Might want to inform the cops of that then as they've not made any links to them yet.

Dissident republicans are the suspects here from what I've heard

What I find funny is that at 3am, in the morning, nobody batted an eyelid at a screeching clanking digger rumbling up the roads. I'm fairly sure that most of the country living folk there were lying in bed thinking to themselves (northern Ireland countryside accent time), "Now boy thon sounds lake a JCB v35 hi, somewan is luckin' for a few quid for the weekend hi"

People heard it without a doubt, but they just don't want to get involved incase their name somehow gets back to the gangs involved somehow. Either that or the tracks had wooly mufflers on them.

There is a way around that. Kill all of them with a shotgun. It's the countryside, they could vanish without a trace

This sounds very Essex
