Thieves Blow Up ATM With Fireworks Bomb

Thieves tried to break open an ATM in Puchong with a homemade explosive device made of fireworks, fortunately they did not get the money. It is very surprised as this is the first time a homemade explosive device has been used in robbery. Two men in their 20s were captured in action by the bank’s closed-circuit-television cameras. A patrol car crew heard the explosion and rushed to the scene. Unfortunately, the thieves manage to fled away on seeing the patrol car. CCTV recordings showed the thieves riding up to the bank on a motorcycle. Police from the forensics department were sent to the scene to gather evidence and found remnants of the device. Police are still uncertain of the motive of the two men were they trying to vandalise the machine or getting to the money. Thieves have used various ways to break into ATMs including using tractors and tow trucks to uproot the machines. Firstly, I would like to congratulate the Police Department for their effective action in handling this cases. Although there are CCTV in the bank, the thieves can still bombing the ATM. So, in addition we must upgrade our security level, as preventing is better than cure. The key point is citizens must be responsible and playing their role properly in order to help the authority. Finally, I want to state that we are in unstable condition, therefore we should always aware to the surrounding since we do not know if something bad will happen upon us.
