The tunnel started in an empty house nearby, police said. Correspondents say the thieves appeared inspired by popular Bollywood film Dhoom which depicts a similar robbery.

They earned it
Honestly I always have to appreciate the amount of planning that goes into these robberies.
[video=youtube;5I_J_Ug4sCw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I_J_Ug4sCw[/video] It seems surprisingly more common than you would think for tunnel heist robberies. Whether that would be for stealing Cash Machines or plundering vaults.
I see Hoxton is putting his jail experience to use.

[QUOTE=.Lain;46351530]can't beat the (twice happening) robbery method used in my town wherein you slam a tractor in to an ATM[/QUOTE] They do something similar here too except more prosaically they used trucks to bust open the cash vaults. There was the time when somebody tried to bust the cash vault of an ATM open with a crude bomb but it failed, and he ran for it.
[QUOTE=.Lain;46351530]can't beat the (twice happening) robbery method used in my town wherein you slam a tractor in to an ATM[/QUOTE] Yeah, something like that happened near me, there stuff being built next to a filling station, and someone stole a digger, smashed the wall down around the ATM, set the digger on fire and drove off with the ATM.
I hope they are smart enough to sit on the goods for a while. Not wise to start pawning the shit off everywhere
The Great Escape...into being set for life.
Impressive. Normally I'd find this kind of stuff shitty, but when robbers pull off these big heists without hurting anyone I'd be lying to say I didn't find it awesome.
[QUOTE=Megadave;46352049]I hope they are smart enough to sit on the goods for a while. Not wise to start pawning the shit off everywhere[/QUOTE] This is India we're talking about, these guys often make slip ups and get caught within a week or so, unless they're the rare birds who actually know what to do when stealing stuff.
I'd be to scared to go through the tunnel because im afraid it might collapse on me
Jesus and I'm complaining about having to wait a couple of minutes for the thermal drill
[QUOTE=Rents;46352037]Yeah, something like that happened near me, there stuff being built next to a filling station, and someone stole a digger, smashed the wall down around the ATM, set the digger on fire and drove off with the ATM.[/QUOTE] probably one of the same ones if you're in n. ireland (i think you are?)
[QUOTE=.Lain;46351530]can't beat the (twice happening) robbery method used in my town wherein you slam a tractor in to an ATM[/QUOTE] Something similar happened near here, except they used a stolen 4x4 and a chain to pull the ATM out of the wall, and used a chain of stolen cars to confuse the police pursuit (dumping and switching on country back roads etc). I don't think they were ever caught, actually.
[QUOTE=.Lain;46352858]probably one of the same ones if you're in n. ireland (i think you are?)[/QUOTE] Yeah this was attempted and failed the other day in Portadown, I was killing myself laughing at it. I mean look at this, good job morons! [img]http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/78485000/jpg/_78485572_atmdigger.jpg[/img] [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8407423.stm[/url]
pure ingenuity
Someone tried to blow up ATM with gas cylinder couple of months ago in a nearby shop. Pretty much just rekt the whole place. Fuckers didn't even stole anything.
I'm pretty sure I've read about a similar incident somewhere in the same region of India.
