Dramatic footage has emerged of thieves using a digger to rip a cash machine out of a bank.
The gang used the huge construction vehicle to smash into the side of a Nationwide Bank branch in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, causing extensive damage to the building.
They then loaded the cash machine on to a silver pick-up truck before fleeing the scene in the early hours of Monday.
Debris was left strewn across the road, which was closed for several hours following the raid.
Leicestershire Police have released CCTV footage of the incident as part of an appeal for assistance in identifying the thieves.
