POLICE IN THE South African coastal city of Port Elizabeth said they arrested two suspected thieves found inside a cash machine last night.
The pair were discovered in a compartment behind the screen of the machine at a township petrol station in the early hours of the morning.
Police believe they entered the unit in an attempt to steal cash.
Large, robust stand-alone cash machines are common in South Africa following an epidemic of ATM bombings in the early 2000′s.
“It was about 3.51am when police went to investigate after an alarm was triggered,” Captain Andre Beetge told AFP.
After a brief search officers “were about to leave, when they noticed movement inside the ATM,” said Beetge.
“Upon careful investigation, they found two men, aged 18 and 20 inside.”
The pair were arrested and charged with malicious damage to property, further charges are expected when the men appear in court today.
It is believed the suspects used screw drivers and other instruments to force open the ATM, which was built into a larger vault.
No explosives were used and no money was removed.

Updated the wife to a 21 year old, blonde version os…… Best thing I ever did!
How’s your battery life?
Updated my S5 to Lollipop a few weeks ago, worst thing I ever did. Camera works when it feels like it, YouTube crashes and the battery doesn’t last half the time it did before the update due to bugs in the OS. If you’re thinking of updating, don’t. At least not yet anyway.
I’ve had a prompt to update on the top of my screen for a couple of months now…. But I won’t!
Definitely wait till you’re guaranteed 5.1. As the op says, I wish I’d never updated to 5.0. Nothing but hassle since.
I upgraded yesterday. Note 4. Went well. No problems to date. I like it.
Had the note a few years ago when I used to commute. Unlimited data and Netflix. Stuck in traffic? No worries.
I heard it devours battery life.
Been an improvement on both devices I own that have it
For those having battery issues after the new update – go into settings and make sure Power saving mode is enabled. This had become disabled on my phone after the update and my battery life went to shite for a few days before I copped what was wrong – it’s back to its normal self now.
Android is definitely the most offensive software in the phone market. Just so unstable and buggy.
I’ve had more bugs on iOS
I have been running Lollipop on a Nexus 5 for months now and do not experience any issues, it is stable and no issue with battery.
5.0 doesn’t work that well on my S4, it crashes at least once a day
I’m running Android 5.1.1 with no crashes. But the battery loses a lot of life.
Samsung has sold more phones than Apple by volume, according to new stats. Samsung shipped 83.2 million smartphones worldwide – 24 percent market-share for the first quarter of 2015…. Apple, meanwhile, shipped 61.2 million smartphones just 18 percent of the market-share.

Cool story Bro
I have been using Lollipop for a few weeks on my HTC one M8 and have had no issues. Battery seem to last the same amount of time, no crashes and no issues with the camera (apart from the fact the camera HTC decided to put in the phone is useless)
I have a Samsung S4 running Android Lollipop 5.1.1 all going well so far. It’s a lot faster than the stock android for the S4.
have your say
