Multiple reports describe a ram-raiding incident in which thieves target a cash machine early in the morning. According to accounts published about the case, the group attempts to break into the ATM by smashing at it with a hammer. The effort does not succeed, and the thieves then move to removing the machine itself. The reports say the ATM is towed out of the ground at about 12:50am on 29 July after the initial attempt fails. The available information focuses on the sequence of actions—hammering first and towing second—and the approximate time the incident takes place. No further details are provided in the excerpts about the location, the number of suspects, whether any cash is taken, or the method used to transport the ATM beyond the description of towing it away. The reports present the incident as a brazen attempt to access the cash machine, ultimately shifting from damaging the unit to extracting it for removal.
