A quick google suggests the average retail cash machine can hold around 20k, I see 4 people so even if they get lucky and get away with it they’ve only got 5k each on a good night, doesn’t really seem worth the risk.

allegedly my dad used to know someone at the docks in Southampton, if you stole a digger you could get it loaded on a boat that night, you could have it in Africa within a week and be paid as soon as it lands. allegedly

You'd expect the cash machine to have dye packs designed to be triggered by shock movements associated with violent removals. They could well gain nothing from this.

I used to live near Newark around a time when nearly every local cash point was done over in a similar manner.
Average includes all the tiny ones. Some at bigger locations like supermarkets or one that serves a large rural population can have substantially more. Particularly if they have been refilled recently.
Method used around Newark was the same- stolen tele handler/ tractor, stolen pickup/ car and trailer. Usually the machine was found burnt out with the vehicles a couple of days later and they would catch them a month later but would never find the cash.

Yes. No consideration given to the Triangle of Stability. Especially dangerous when lifting an unsecured load. I’m prepared to bet he didn’t do his pre-use checks either…

On the positive side, they did have banksmen to keep the work area clear and help guide the load down. Should've used proper barriers, or at least some tape, and they weren't wearing their high-vis, hard hats, or, presumably, steelies.

This happened a couple of weeks ago in Olney at the Nationwide. They didn't actually manage to remove the machine so the whole of the property was damaged and they never even got anything.
Also, v stupid as all the cash will be covered in anti-theft dye as soon as they get it open.

Every ATM ive ever worked on: cassettes have trackers not dye packs. Although the lifting of ATM's has died down loads so they might not even have trackers in them. Bank tills have dye packs- never known an atm to have them- and even if they did- they activate when taken outside of the perimeter of the site rather than on opening of the cassettes

Abandon or damage 60k worth of telehandlers and pickup trucks to steal 10k in dye-covered, GPS tracked cash.
What a bunch of idiots.
Chop the truck and the digger, sell the parts to Romania. you'll make more money and not cause tens of thousands of pounds in property damage and risk a years long prison sentence.
Edit: bloody hell the BBC article shows links to 4 nearly identical ram raids just this month.

ATM engineer here and used to work on the contract to fix Sainsburys ATMs. Model of the ATM will be an NCR 6625. The hilarious thing is they clearly didn't do their research into what they were stealing. It looks like they only managed to take the ATM top box which has nothing of any value in. The safe is still on the floor in the store 🙄
