CCTV shows moment brazen thieves use stolen digger to steal entire cash machine

This is the brazen moment a gang uses a stolen digger to pluck a cash machine from a residential street in Italy.

Footage, filmed from a flat above, shows how several crooks clad in black look on as one of their group sets upon the ATM with the excavator.

The heavy construction equipment can be heard making a deafening racket as it tears the cash machine from the wall of the post office in the commune of Valverde - near Catania, Sicily - at night.
