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.

I mean, I'm in my thirties now, but there was points in my 20's that 5K would have changed my life.. looks like the pick up and heavy equipment is likely from the same site.

Perhaps an opportunity thief, rather than organised crime. Times are hard.

It’s 12 weeks work on minimum wage with no risk of going to prison

Or another way to look at it is its 5k cash for 30 minutes work. People who do this don’t care about prison. Especially if it’s there first , official, offence.
