A cash machine in Warlingham was blown up by thieves yesterday morning.

The machine was detonated in the early hours in an attempt to steal the cash contents.

However, the ploy failed and no money was taken.

Three men wearing balaclavas were seen fleeing the scene, and it’s possible that a high performance car and van were also involved.

Anyone who can assist detectives with their investigation is urged to contact Surrey Police on 101 quoting reference 45140105339.

Information can be shared anonymously with the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
