The Crime I Can't Forget S02E06 - The Cash Machine Bandits
Summary:
In October 2018, a sleepy village in County Antrim is rocked when, in the dead of night, a gang arrives with a stolen digger and rips an ATM from the walls of the local newsagent.
Police are quickly at the scene, where they soon discover that the gang is highly skilled and has left minimal evidence. But this was only the first in a string of ATM heists by the gang, as they continued their work across the county.
As the attacks escalate, specialist detective superintendent Richard Thornton from the Organised Crime Division is appointed to lead the response, and assembles a dedicated team to tackle the sophisticated criminals.
Richard recalls how he and his team spent weeks meticulously analysing the gang's methods to predict their next move, and with the help of experts in surveillance, sought to put an end to the relentless attacks.
Chief superintendent Sue-Ann Steen provides insight into her leadership of the uniformed officers who patrolled the affected communities. Business owner Geoffery McKillop offers a personal account of the damage caused to his café during one of the gang's audacious attacks.
