Manchester 'mole gang' dug 100ft tunnel under car park to raid Blockbuster Video cash machine

There are those times in life when we seem to do a great deal of work for very little reward.

It's been a decade since one Manchester crime gang spent months planning and carrying out a back-breaking heist only to come away with barely anything for their efforts. Back in 2012, a gang of thieves spent six-months digging a tunnel under a car park in a bid to steal from a cash machine outside a Blockbuster video store.

The daring heist happened some time between 5.30pm on January 2, 2012 and January 3 in Fallowfield shopping precinct. To make sure they were still going in the right direction, it's believed the gang drilled tiny holes from the roof of the tunnel into the floor of the store.
