A cash machine was blown up by gang who struck at a covenience store. Three men attacked the ATM at the Co-op in Castleton, Rochdale last night and escaped with a "substantial" amount.
The sound of the explosion was heard by nearby residents. One resident said: "When we heard the loud explosion at home, we looked out the front door, to see three lads running away from the Co op. My partner went down to the Co op and saw the smoke. He asked a worker there what had happened, who said men had gone in with a hammer telling them to get out and blew up the cash machine."
