ATM Theft Pocklington - Police success!

So yet another cashpoint stolen in Pock, 2nd in 2 years and about the 5th or 6th in the area. Same plan each time, stolen telehandler used to ram the walls and drag the machine out, dump it on a pickup and flee. Only this time the police were on the scene in time to intervene! Police car got rammed and somehow the cashpoint fell off the transit and they got off with no cash. Thankfully no one hurt and the JCB can be returned to the owner.

In all the other attacks they seem to have got away before police arrived so hopefully now they have enough leads to start making arrests but they were probably stolen vehicles as well with no ties to the attackers.

I guess reinforced concrete bollards are the best way to try and stop this sort of attack but costs, no where to put them etc makes this difficult. I wonder how much cash is stored in these machines to make it worth their while? Matt.

Well seeing as low life scum will nick a charity tin, I think they'll go to any lengths to get an ATM where there's lots more money. As you say, they steal the vehicles anyway, so it doesn't matter if they get written off, obviously. So the whole job costs them nothing at all. And if they get caught, a lawyer will say they have had a terrible childhood, and now that they have a child of their own, they want to settle down and become a father to little Chardonnay. The magistrate will agree (as there's no room in any of the prisons) and he'll get two years, suspended. He probably won't, but I'm sure you'll know what I mean. If they're female, they won't even get a prison sentence, even if they stab someone.

Now left.

Do you have a little Chardonnay, that your lawyer can show a picture of to the judge? If so, despite all your previous convictions, you too will get the usual slap on the wrist. Kick a 60 year old man's head in - at a taxi rank - 'cause you were looking for someone to beat up - and he died? Well, that's life - here's your 8-year sentence. Don't worry, be good, go to the prison gym, watch your TV provided by the taxpayer, and you'll be out in 5 years. Like you said, you're a sucker, I'm a sucker. Now left.

Anyone who deliberately rams a police car to escape/evade arrest should be charged with attempted murder and on conviction of ramming the police vehicle they should be sentenced to a whole life, life sentence.

Using a vehicle to deliberate ram another vehicle is using an offensive weapon. Yes the air bags inside the police car may deploy and save the occupants from serious injury.

Now if low life scum bag attacks a policeman with a knife (an offensive weapon) to escape arrest and the policeman life is saved by his stab vest, that is attempted murder in my opinion. No different to using a vehicle as an offensive weapon.

/\Yep. I'd make ANY assault on a police officer (witnessed or recorded) have a minimum 10-year sentence. Now left.

I am not surprised that they are doing that with ATMs, chances are they are whipping the cash out and weighing the rest in for scrap. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

sad thing is the police now have very little power now, which is a shame. If the police had more power then I think idiots would soon think twice.
My next doors son, who is a right cocky arse wipe, Set his lip up at the police, when they were dealing with his mate. He ended up in nick but they couldn't get anything in court on him. Laugh was he did have a nice shiny though, where they must have give him a bit of a working over. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

What powers did the police lose and when did this happen?

Also what extra powers do you think they need?
