A persistent group of thieves went to extreme lengths to get their hands on extra cash: They spent six months digging a 100ft tunnel under a Blockbuster Video store in Fallowfield, Manchester to reach a cash machine, the Daily Mail reported.

The thieves starting digging the tunnel at a railway embankment at the rear of the shop. The tunnel then went under a car park and beneath the foundations of the store.

The passageway was around 4ft tall and fitted with lighting and roof supports.

The thieves drilled through more than 15 inches of concrete to steal cash from the ATM, but after all their toil only got away with around ￡6,000.
