Gang Digger Smash in Coventry

Thieves have used a digger to smash through a wall and steal a cashpoint in Coventry.



It happened overnight, next to the Spar on Banner Lane in Banner Brook Park at 1:30am.

A gang took the digger from a construction site nearby.

Richard lives above the store and woke up as it was happening:

“Using the digger they managed to lift the whole lot – and dropped it onto the back of a flatbed van.

“The whole building was shaking, it felt like it could fall down.”

Police are appealing for witnesses.
