A group of thieves used a heavy machine to rip an ATM from a funeral home in Halstead, Essex, in the United Kingdom. The action happened in the early hours of last Thursday (10), when the criminals repeatedly used a Matbro excavator to hit the building that housed the equipment. The attack opened a large hole in the building's wall as the criminals tried to remove the ATM.
The action was captured by security cameras installed on the street, which is the main thoroughfare of the commercial area. The moment the heavy machine hits the building's wall can be seen in the recorded footage. An ambulance arrived at the scene while the action was still in progress, according to the English tabloid Daily Mail.
Emergency services were called around 1:50 AM. There is no information on how many criminals participated in the robbery or whether they managed to take the ATM. The article does not mention any arrests or identifications of the suspects involved in the crime.
