Bogota: A gang of thieves entered a store in Colombia's Barranquilla city
and, after subduing a security guard, used watermelon rinds to
slide an ATM machine out of the door, police said.
The thieves, numbering at least 10, managed to empty the ATM of
its cash and later abandoned it.
Police managed to arrest seven of the alleged thieves, who were in
possession of 60 million pesos (around $30,000).
Police said this was the second time that such a robbery occurred.
In 2008, in another part of the coastal city, thieves pried an ATM
from its base and slid it to a vehicle also using watermelon
rinds. On that occasion, they looted around $100,000.
