Cllr Charles Royden, portfolio holder for highways and transport, said: “It is not just the cost of the stolen cash in these blatant and outrageous crimes, but thousands of pounds in damage has also been caused to the machines.
“It is outrageous that these crimes continue to be perpetrated on our streets, and we’d encourage anyone who knows anything to contact the Police on 101, or the Council on 01234 718398.”
We would request that anyone with any information about these thefts contacts Bedfordshire Police on 101.
