They came in the dead of night. Five men in dark clothing with theft on their minds, 4 wheel drive motors and a JCB. Their target was the cash machine. Locals were woken at 0300 hours by the noise of the JCB as it rammed the wall to get at the machine. Quickly they all dialled 999 as the gang went to work on the machine.
