Reactions as thieves steal ATMKeith Mason

"It’s not a digger it was a telehandler they used if the police can’t identify a piece of equipment what hope do they hold of catching anyone."

Cheryl Norman said:

"Im certain i passed this digger/telehandler last night at 11pm. It was on the A5 coming from Towcester direction. I remember thinking how odd to see it just going along in the dark with barely any lights on."
