CCTV captures robbers running after assaulting ATM delivery drivers
CCTV captures axe-wielding armed robbers running away with boxes full of cash after assaulting delivery drivers who top up ATM machines – as three men are jailed for 27 years for stealing £260,000
- CCTV footage captured the three masked men in a series of cash robberies
- Men, who stole £260,000 from cash-in-transit delivery drivers all behind bars
Shocking footage captures the moment axe-wielding robbers made off with boxes of cash after they assaulted delivery drivers employed to replenish ATM machines.
The masked men were captured on CCTV and vehicle security cameras on three different occasions, each time threatening the drivers before escaping with the cash box in hand.
In one of the terrifying clips, two armed men dressed in black are seen leaving the scene with a cash box and in another raid, two men are again captured on camera charging into a convenience store armed with an axe, before leaving the scene with bags and boxes of money.
According to Greater Manchester Police, every robbery saw a guard attacked by the masked group with an axe. They said the gang tried to cover their tracks by using hire cars and wearing balaclavas.
The three men, who stole a total of £260,000 from cash-in-transit delivery drivers, have all been jailed.

Nathan Kennedy, 42, was sentenced to seven years behind bars for his part in the crimes
Paul Dunn, 34, who was sentenced to 14 years in jail, had gambled away the stolen cash with ‘little success’
Liam McCloy, 35, who received six years in prison, was stopped by police when officers boarded a plane as it touched back down in the UK following a family holiday
Paul Dunn, 34, Nathan Kennedy, 42, and Liam McCloy, 35, all pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery. Dunn was jailed for 14 years, while Kennedy was sentenced to seven years behind bars, and McCloy was received six years in prison.
Despite trying to cover their tracks, the three men left a paper trail after money was deposited into Dunn’s and Kennedy’s bank account, leading cops straight to their doorsteps.
Dunn had gambled away the stolen cash with ‘little success’, police added.
But days after each robbery, money was deposited into Dunn’s and Kennedy’s bank account, leaving a paper trail and leading detectives straight to their doorsteps.
Dunn and Kennedy were held by police last August, when they executed warrants across Greater Manchester. Officers found multiple messages on Kennedy’s phone to Dunn and McCloy, which fit in with the timeline of offences.
A sum of £1,000 was also found hidden in his house.
Meanwhile, McCloy was stopped by police when officers boarded a plane as it touched back down in the UK following a family holiday.

Police said McCloy tried to hide his phone, but it was recovered by officers who found phone numbers attributed to Kennedy and Dunn. Further examination of the phone showed he had attempted to delete dozens of incriminating messages between the trio.
Detective Inspector Rick Castley said: ‘This was a series of terrifying incidents that saw members of the public, who were simply doing their job, seriously assaulted by masked men armed with weapons and scared for their lives.
‘Their robbery spree days are now over.’
Sarah Staff, director of the British Security Industry Association, added: ‘This series of robberies involved extreme violence against staff whilst they carried out ATM replenishments.
‘The sentences received reflects the seriousness of this offending and on behalf of the industry I would thank all those involved in this investigation for their tireless work in apprehending those involved.’
