Thieves are using excavators to rob banks in Newfoundland

First such was in mid/late 1980s in Prince Edward Island. Thieves attached chains to each corner of the PEI wood building and pickup trucks to pull the wall out 😃

Stealing ATMs started after that. A good thief will wait too just after the company refills the ATM. While stereotype bank robbery yields ~$1000 getting a greshly filled ATM gets you about $200,000. (bank may no llnger fill them to brink these days)
