Thieves Steal Empty Safe from Suffolk Farm Store as Electronic Payments Foil Raid

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

Surveillance cameras captured the break-in, showing the pair using force and causing damage to the store as they worked to steal the safe.

Despite the effort involved in removing it, the safe contained no cash. Electronic payments had undermined the thieves’ plan to leave with money.

The raid ended with a stark contrast: damage to the business and considerable effort by the intruders, but nothing inside their prized haul.
