ATMs thwart 'amateur' thugs

Three ATMs in Phakalane, Letlhakane and Ramatlabama have been blasted so far using explosives related to the type used in mining, but police say in all the incidents the criminals hit blanks.

Assistant Superintendent, Near Bagali, who is also assistant PR officer at the Botswana Police, says so far "there is no change in the strategies as these criminals tend to use explosives as a method to blast the machines. However, they have failed in all their attempts to get the money.
