Robbers steal 2.1 million baht from an ATM

 

Two robbers made off with 2.1 million baht after they injured a security and broke open an ATM located in the compound of a company on Petkasem road in Petchaburi province early Saturday morning.

 

The security guard of the SR Spinning Company in Tambon Ton Maphrao, Muang district, reportedly told police that at about 4 pm he heard a loud noise of something being sawn coming from an ATM of the Siam Commercial Bank and went to investigate.

' He went on saying that the two robbers then set fire to the ATM to break it open and grabbed the cash inside, amounting to 2.1 million baht. '

 

I'm confused .....  setting fire to an ATM will not allow the cash box to be opened ...

I thought that ATM's were virtually theft proof .....  ?

why wouldn't there be an alarm on the door and a CCTV pointing at the ATM  ?

He heard something being sawed or something explode? I think the security guard knows more than he's telling.

their relatives house in some god forsaken hut in Nakhon nowhere...

2.1 mil in an ATM. I don't know but that seems quite a bit.

Seems odd that this company needed an ATM.  I guess maybe a lot of cash transactions, paying the workers of the "spinning company'?

They must have cased the job and went in right after the fill up.
