Teenage ATM robbery gang who targeted pensioners jailed after sparking UK-wide hunt

Three men who sparked a UK wide search after a spate of robberies at ATM machines in Scotland have been caged for more than a year each. 

Felix Stoica, 19, Forin Geblescu, 18, and Piper Dumitri 18, targeted machines all over the country and stole cash from people including an 84-year-old pensioner.

Police Scotland circulated a UK wide bulletin to try and identify the teenagers - leading to police in Manchester and Wirral recognising them.

In August last year Stoica was given two years, Geblescu 16 months and Dumitri eight months behind bars for a similar offence in Merseyside.
