A nearby police patrol responded and saw the ATMs being driven away from the area on the back of a pick-up vehicle. “On this occasion the quick response of the police patrol was able to force the thieves to abandon their vehicles and the ATMs and they have fled empty-handed,” he said. Henderson also said an increased amount of resources had been made available to tackling ATM thefts, but said they could not police every ATM location all the time.
