ARCHIVED - Another ATM cashpoint robbed on Camposol Urbanisation in Mazarron
This time the machine on Sector A was robbed
Another ATM robbery took place on the Camposol urbanisation on Thursday evening, the target this time the machine on the A-Sector.
In the past the modus operandi has been to rip the machine out of the wall, but on this occasion the thieves broke into the premises alongside a local estate agency business, ripping off the wrought iron protective bars to attack the machine from behind.
Locals report that the machine had been out of order for a few days but had been repaired and re-filled ready for the start of the Easter holiday week.
In August last year the ATM on B Sector commercial sector was ripped out of the wall.
There are a surprising number of attacks on cashpoint machines; in neighbouring Alicante not long ago police arrested the owner of an Italian pizza restaurant in Benidorm who had a nice little sideline in blowing up cashpoint machines using explosives and had robbed more than 73 machines!
