Unbelievable scenes were recorded in the early hours of Sunday morning in a city in England, where several masked thieves stole an ATM (automatic teller machine) by using an excavator to remove it from the wall of a supermarket.
The incident took place in Milton Keynes, about 80 kilometers northwest of London.
In the video shot by shocked residents, the excavator is seen destroying the building's facade, removing the ATM from the wall and pulling it outside, causing significant damage to the building.
The hooded robbers then loaded the ATM into the back of a truck and sped away. According to police, the ATM was later abandoned on the road, while the perpetrators are still at large.
Police have launched an investigation into the theft and have appealed for witnesses to come forward with information. Meanwhile, a video of the incident has been widely shared on social media, causing surprise and irony among users.
Some commentators on the X platform (formerly Twitter) have highlighted the thieves' extraordinary courage, while others have recalled that many ATMs are equipped with security systems that spray money with paint so that it cannot be used by robbers.
