Moments were recorded when a complete ATM was stolen using a telehandler from a store in England.
Videos taken by nearby residents who witnessed the incident show the heavy machine pulling the ATM out through a hole in the wall, causing significant damage in front of the store. The stolen ATM was later lifted into the air and left in the back of a pickup truck.
Masked thieves left the JCB telehandler behind and quickly fled the scene. Debris was left scattered across the street.
Thames Valley Police are investigating the incident and are asking witnesses to come forward.
The incident occurred around 1:00 AM on Sunday night, and the video quickly spread on social media. Users expressed their astonishment at how boldly the theft was carried out.
Some users reminded that many ATMs have anti-theft ink systems inside that damage banknotes if the device is tampered with. It is still unclear whether this particular ATM had such a system.
There was still a police barrier at the scene yesterday, and the JCB telehandler was also there. Thames Valley Police announced that there would be an increased police presence in the area and that the scene would be under constant surveillance.
