A masked gang in the UK used a stolen construction vehicle to rip an ATM from a bank wall and load it onto a truck, fleeing the scene. The stolen ATM was reported to contain tens of thousands of pounds, prompting a large-scale police investigation.
The robbery in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire, was captured in detail on security cameras. In the early hours, masked suspects, using a telehandler believed to be stolen, targeted the outer wall of a Nationwide Building Society branch.
