Police have been going through hours of CCTV footage to  find a gang who used a tractor to pull a cash machine out of a wall in Nottinghamshire yesterday morning.

The ATM was found at a farm building in Kegworth, Leicestershire, all the money had been stolen.

A Land Rover Defender, stolen from Lincolnshire, and a large trailer, stolen from Lowdham, were also abandoned at the farm building. 

CCTV shows offenders used the tractor, stolen from Cropwell Butler, to crash into the NatWest bank in Market Place, Bingham, at around 2.40am Monday morning.

Officers reckon it had been towed by a trailer through villages from Bingham including Cotgrave - Bunny and East Leake.

'No Regard'

Sergeant Steve Wragg, from Beeston CID, said: 

'It would have been an unusual sight to see the vehicle towing such a large trailer through quiet, rural villages in the early hours of the morning. Anyone who saw the vehicle may hold vital information which could help us find the people responsible for this incident.

'It appears the offenders stole at least two vehicles in the lead up to this morning's theft, and clearly have no regard for the destruction they left behind - help us find them before they cause even more damage.'

There were initially concerns over the structural safety of the building, but has now been found to be safe.
