If you ever wondered how hard it is to break into modern ATMs, the answer is very hard.
A firefighter cut into a hefty steel door to free a security guard who got trapped while filling up an ATM yesterday.
They took nearly five hours to rescue the man. At one point rescuers shoved a straw through the hole to give him a drink of juice.
The guard got trapped when the security door slammed shut on him after he went into the vault to stock up the machine at a Tesco store in Manor Park, East London.
The guard managed to call 999, the British version of 911, so help arrived pretty quickly. But it took firefighters five hours to break into the ATM using heavy cutting gear.
That’s pretty secure.
