Raiders dug 40ft tunnel to rob cash machine
A gang dug a 40 ft tunnel through soil and rocks in an attempt to raid a cash machine, police said today.
Workmen accidentally uncovered the tunnel which had been intricately constructed with scaffolding and wooden poles.
It is thought the tunnel must have taken several weeks to build.
The would-be raiders were only 15ft short of their target at a branch of Blockbuster Video at the Fallowfield shopping precinct in Manchester.
