A bungling burglar was almost blown up as he made a second botched attempt to steal money from a cash machine.
Brothers David Culshaw, 49, and Michael Culshaw, 51, attempted to insert a black tube into the ATM before filling it with gas to blow the machine from the wall.
But the pair can be seen on the shocking CCTV running away from flames after the failed theft attempt.
The first incident occurred at around 12.30am on Sunday, September 24 in Warrington, Cheshire.
In the second incident, at the same cash machine at 4.30am on Monday, October 16, one of the duo gets caught up in the flames from the gas canister and almost blows himself up.
While fleeing, Michael Culshaw inadvertently left a black glove and towel behind, which was later traced to him via DNA.
Traces of David Culshaw's DNA were also discovered on a black tube that the pair used to cause the explosion.
