A gang who stole a total of £580,000 from raiding cash machines in a five-month spree 'rammed' into two female police officers as part of a bold attack caught on CCTV. The incident came during a number of raids thugs carried out across England and Wales between March and July 2022.
'Ruthless' violence was used by the gang, who 'meticulous' planned the operation by using a Greater Manchester lockup as a 'stable' for stolen motors deployed during the thefts, reports the Manchester Evening News. The attack on the two female officers occurred on April 15, 2022 in Warrington, Cheshire in a raid that saw the crew escape with £34,000 outside a Nisa store.
Police had responded quickly to the scene after noticing a 'pattern' to the gang's hits. The gang turned their attention to the two female police officers who responded after stealing the ATM, ramming their transit van into the patrol cars.
