    How to blow up an ATM...

    Or more likely not.

    Two wannabe thieves have been jailed after blowing up two cash points but failing to steal a single penny.

    CCTV footage captured the moment Jamie Masters, 34, and Wayne Lewis, 42, used makeshift explosives to try and access an ATM in Essex last year.

    But all the pair managed to do was cause more than £100,000 worth of damage and land themselves in jail.

    During their first attempt they stuck a gas canister to an ATM in the early hours of March 22, 2022 at a shopping district in Witham.
    They lit the gas canister which exploded, causing significant damage to the building but bringing them no closer to any cash.

    Around two and a half weeks later Masters and Lewis attached a gas canister near a cash point outside a Tesco in Laindon, but this time instead of igniting the gas the makeshift explosive caused a firework-like explosion.

    Once again, they failed to gain access to any money.

    Police identified the pair through CCTV and they were arrested on April 19 of last year.

    Both men admitted charges of conspiracy to burgle and conspiracy to cause an explosion with intent to endanger life or property.
