Thief used dynamite to break into ATM

A thief has been caught on CCTV using dynamite to blast his way into a cash machine in Brazil. The robbery was filmed in Ponta Grossa, in Brazil's Paraná state on Wednesday.



Sparks are seen coming from a hole the thief uses to place the explosive in the front of the ATM, before the machine is blown up and smoke fills the room.





He then returned to the scene to collect whatever was left. In June, five suspected members of a gang were arrested with 45kg of dynamite which police said could be used to burst into 120 ATMs.

Police commander Silvanei Almeida Gomes said: "We spent six months investigating this gang. There are strong indications that this year they are responsible for 11 cases of theft at ATMs."
