Thieves blow up ATM in south Cyprus, made away with lots of cash

Thieves blew up an ATM in Limassol, south Cyprus early Saturday morning and made off with an unspecified sum of cash.

This was made known in a statement by Greek Cypriot police on Saturday. They said that the  explosion occurred at 3.40 am at an ATM in Ayios Athanasios and that an unknown sum of money had been stolen.

This was the second such incident in four days in the same town and third in Cyprus since the lockdown began.

Police said they were investigating a case of conspiracy to commit an offence, attempted destruction of property and theft of cash from an ATM.

The ATM was completely destroyed while the glass doors and the interior of the bank branch sustained damage.
