Thieves Steal Empty Safe in Suffolk Farm Shop Raid as Electronic Payments Foil Plan

Two thieves who broke into a farm shop in Suffolk, Britain, made off with a metal safe only to discover it was completely empty.

Surveillance cameras captured the break-in, during which the pair used force and caused extensive damage to the shop in their efforts to steal the safe.

Despite the work involved in removing it, the safe held none of the cash the thieves had apparently hoped to find.

Electronic payments proved the twist in the failed raid: the target they went to such lengths to take contained no money, leaving the shop damaged and the thieves empty-handed.
