Help Prevent ATM Thefts

/in /by

Following recent incidents of ATM thefts, here are some things to look out for to help prevent this happening to a business near you:

 

  • Unauthorised people paying close attention to ATMs, including taking photos or attaching ‘out of order’ signs to give an impression the machine is not working properly
  • Tractors or heavy machinery vehicles being driven in the middle of the night
  • People scoping houses or tampering with number plates, thieves will often do this before stealing a vehicle to use in a ram raid
  • High-performance or plant vehicles that are not usually in the area and appear to have been left parked for a few days

Attaching a tracker inside your vehicle and installing CCTV or a video doorbell could help to prevent your vehicle being stolen to be used in a ram raid.

 

Most importantly if you see something that doesn’t look right, then it probably isn’t.

 

Always call 999 in an emergency.
