ATMs are difficult to break into. This makes perfect sense, because they are metal boxes that exist solely to dole out money in $20 denominations. A conservative estimate would be that, at any time, a single ATM contains nearly $100,000: no small haul for an enterprising criminal.
Enter two such young men, who decided to take a “large gas-powered cement saw” to an ATM in Burlington, Ont. The two young men clearly understood their target better than would-be ATM thieves in Brantford, Ont., who tried to drive away with an ATM earlier this year.
The two men in Burlington got away with an undisclosed amount of cash and may have committed similar thefts in Hamilton, London and Windsor. Enterprising criminals, indeed.
