Iqela lemigulukudu lamadoda amathandathu atyhoboza iimoto kwiivenkile ezixhobe ngee-angle grinder, ii-sledgehammers kunye nee-crowbars ukuze ahlasele oomatshini bemali eWillaston nakwilizwe lonke bavalelwe iminyaka engama-34 iyonke.
Eli qela lebe ngaphezulu kwe-£42,000 kwaye labangela umonakalo omkhulu njengoko belihamba kwilizwe lonke ngezithuthi ezibiweyo kwiinombolo ze-cloned, iifestile zeenkunzi zeegusha kunye nokuhlasela oomatshini be-ATM ngezixhobo, i-sledgehammers kunye neesarha.
La madoda mathandathu agwetywe kwiNkundla yaseChester Crown namhlanje, ngoLwesihlanu, umhla weshumi elinesibini kuTshazimpuzi, emva kokuba onke evume iyelenqe lokuqhekeza kunye nokuphatha iimpahla ezibiweyo.
Isithethi samapolisa aseCheshire sathi kwisithuba seenyanga ezimbini ishishini lolwaphulo-mthetho lisebenzise uthotho lwezithuthi ezifakelwe iinombolo zobhaliso zobuxoki.
Basebenzise iimoto ezibiweyo ezinamandla amakhulu kunye nezithuthi ezinkulu ezinokulahlwa ukuze bangene ngobundlobongela kwezinye iindawo besebenzisa amaqhinga 'okuhlasela iiram'.
Kwezinye iimeko babesebenzisa iinqwelo-mafutha ezibiweyo ukuze batyhoboze kwiivenkile apho izivalo zentsimbi zazigada izakhiwo.
Iqela lemigulukudu elibandakanyekayo kweli shishini lalixhotyiswe ngezinto zokusika ezisebenza ngombane kunye nezigudi ze-engile, izibane zetotshi, iihamile, izando zecrowbars, ii-screwdrivers, iijagi zepeyinti kunye ne-bolt croppers.
Bonke abo babandakanyeka ngokuthe ngqo kwiindawo zolwaphulo-mthetho babembethe i-balaclavas ukukhusela ukubonwa okubonakalayo njengoko beqhuba ubugebengu babo.
Phakathi kukaJulayi noSeptemba kulo nyaka uphelileyo, iqela lemigewu licwangcise ngononophelo kwaye lilungelelanise ukuhlaselwa kwabo kwii-ATM eWillaston eCheshire, eArrowe Park eWirral, eQueensferry, eGarden City naseCaergwrle eNorth Wales.
Bakwajolise kwii-ATM e-Oldbury nakwi-Small Heath e-West Midlands, e-Darwin e-Lancashire nase-Ackworth e-West Yorkshire.
Kwakunye nezi zenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho, eli qela lilungelelanisiweyo lebe izithuthi ngexesha lokuqhekezwa kwezorhwebo eBromborough, eMerseyside.
Kwakusekuqalekeni kwe-22 ka-Agasti apho amadoda amane, onke enxibe i-balaclavas kunye neeglavu, ehla kwidolophana yaseWillaston ukuze aqhube uhlaselo lwenkunzi yegusha eMcColl kwi-Neston Road.
Amadoda amabini okanye amathathu aphuma ezimotweni aya ngaphambili evenkileni phambi kokuba iKia Sedona isetyenziswe ukugqogqa ngqo phambi kwevenkile idala umonakalo omkhulu.
Inkundla ivile ukuba kwimizuzu emingaphi ukukhanya okuqaqambileyo kunye neentlantsi eziveliswe ngumatshini wokugaya zafakwa kwintshukumo kwaye zakhanyisa ngaphakathi evenkileni njengoko la madoda etyhoboza kumatshini.
Izandi zokuntlitheka kwemoto evenkileni kunye nezixhobo zombane ezisetyenziswa ngaphakathi ziqale ukuvusa abahlali abakufutshane abanye bekwazi ukubona okwenzekayo kwiifestile zegumbi labo lokulala.
Elinye ibhinqa lasekuhlaleni lasala linxunguphele yaye lisoyikela ukhuseleko lwalo emva kokuba libone iqela lemigulukudu.
Enye yala madoda yamgrogrisa yamxelela ukuba 'abaleke' ngelixa ephakamisela kuye iplanga elide elingange-4ft ebangela ukuba lo mfazi abaleke abuyele endlwini yakhe ukuze abize amapolisa.
La madoda azame ukufikelela kumatshini wemali isithuba esingaphezulu kwemizuzu emithathu ngelixa omnye ejikeleza ngaphandle komnyango, ngamanye amaxesha ekrobe kwiinzame zawo, njengoko wayefowuna.
La madoda mabini emva koko ayeka ngesiquphe iinzame zawo abaleka evenkileni, atsibela kwi-BMW ayiqhuba ngesantya esiphezulu.
Lo monakalo bekulindeleke ukuba udle amawaka eeponti ukuwulungisa ngokunjalo nokuba ivenkile iphulukane nengeniso de iphinde ivulwe ngokukhuselekileyo eluntwini.
Amapolisa aphinde afumana ii-angle grinders, iimela, iziguquli zombane kunye neejagi zepeyinti kwiqela lohlaselo ebekujoliswe kulo.
Kwesinye isikhululo sepetroli eOldbury la madoda abeka iteyiphu kunye neplastiki phezu kwekhamera ukunqanda ukubhaqwa.
Iqela lemigulukudu laliqeshe iikhonteyina ezimbini kwindawo yokugcina eBirkenhead apho amapolisa afumana khona imoto ebiweyo kunye nobungqina obunxulumene nezixhobo zokusika.
Eli qela, eliphuma kwingingqi yaseWirral, libanjwe kulandela uphando olukhawulezileyo obeluqhutywa ngabacuphi becandelo lamapolisa e-Ellesmere Port ngenkxaso yecandelo lolwaphulo-mthetho olumandla kumaPolisa aseCheshire.
Egweba la madoda, ijaji yathi 'ayeliqela elinobuxhakaxhaka kunye neqela lolwaphulo-mthetho olucwangcisiweyo kwaye babengabaphuli-mthetho abazimiseleyo abajongela phantsi intlalo-ntle yoluntu'.
UMark Fitzgerald, 25, waseViolet Road eClaughton ugwetywe iminyaka emihlanu, uNeil Piercy, 36, waseHolme Lane e-Oxton uza kuthothoza iminyaka emihlanu kwaye uPeter Badley, 38, engahlali ndawo ufumene iminyaka emihlanu.
U-Ollerhead wagwetywa ezinye iinyanga ezintandathu ngokuqhekeza eTeesside kwaye uSysum wagwetywa ezinye iinyanga ezili-18 ngokunikezela ngecocaine eMerseyside.
Ethetha emva kwesigwebo, uDetective Sajini uGraeme Carvell wase-Ellesmere Port CID uthe: “Ngaphaya kweenyanga ezimbini eli shishini lolwaphulo-mthetho liye lazama kangangoko ukucwangcisa nokuququzelela uhlaselo koomatshini bemali ukuze bafumane isixa esikhulu semali.
“La madoda azifihle iinkcukacha zawo, ebe iimoto neenombolo-pleyiti zabantu basekuhlaleni abamsulwa kwaye ekholelwa ukuba akanakuchukunyiswa.
“Iinkonzo ebebejolise kuzo ziqatshelwe njengokubonelela ngeenkonzo ezibalulekileyo kuluntu lwengingqi yethu kwaye zishiye ifuthe elimandla kubanini nakubasebenzi babo.
“Kuhlaselo ngalunye baye bazithemba ngakumbi kwaye babandisa kwilizwe liphela.Uhlaselo lwabo lwalusoloko luyingozi kakhulu, lushiya uluntu lusoyika kodwa babezimisele ukuba bangavumeli nabani na abaphazamise.
“Izigwebo zanamhlanje zibonisa nokuba mangaphi na izenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho ozenzayo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo awukwazi ukukuphepha ukubanjwa – siyakusukela singayeki de ubanjwe.
“Sizimisele ukuphazamisa onke amanqanaba olwaphulo-mthetho olumandla kwindawo esihlala kuyo nokugcina abantu bekhuselekile.”
