Dramatic police video footage caught the moment ram raiders dragged away a cash machine from a shopping centre before being tracked down in woodland by police as they are jailed.
Footage shows them driving off with the ATM dragging behind them, pulling a children's toy car ride along with it at Bedford, Buckinghamshire.
A police helicopter later trailed the thieves down and into woodlands where they were caught.
Helicopter footage from the same day as the ATM burglary on February 21 last year shows four men scrambling out of a vehicle after a police car chase.
Tony Smith (top left), 23, John Mitchell (top right), 20, Alan Smith (bottom left), 47, and Samuel Mitchell (bottom left), 19, all pleaded guilty to their parts in the various offences in January and February 2022 and were sentenced at Huntingdon Law Courts last week

He gives up and sits down in woodland, lying face down as he's approached by
