ATM Raiders Ordered To Pay Back Over £700k

Lutterworth Post Office was targeted in 2017

Three men who raided ATMs across Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and further afield have been ordered to pay-back over £700,000.

Confiscation orders under the Proceeds of Crime Act have been granted by Leicester Crown Court after they were jailed for more than 30 years in 2018.

The men, including Charlie Smith, formally of Mere Lane, Bitteswell, used gas cylinders to blow the cash machines out of the wall during the early morning raids, including at Lutterworth Post Office, which netted them around £1.5m

More than £100,000 found by Leicestershire Police when they were arrested will also be paid back to the ATM owners.
