Watch: Thieves Steal ATM In Sderot Using Car Hook

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Despite all precautions taken at ATM’s to prevent theft from taking place, thieves in the town of Sderot found a simple low-tech method to remove the contents of the ATM. Attaching a car hook to the ATM, the thieves simply drove their car and puled the ATM out of its socket and then emptied the money from the ATM and drove off.

A woman living nearby took a clip of the theft and alerted police but the masked thieves, who are assumed to be Bedouin living in the region, had already escaped with their loot.

This is not the first time that thieves have used this method. Similar thefts occurred in 2016 in Beersheva, in 2018 in Petah Tikva and in 2017 in Ashdod.
