Bournemouth Vicious Cashpoint Robbery Caught On CCTV, Police Appeal For Witnesses

by admin on September 4, 2010


A vicious attack on a man withdrawing £10 from a cashpoint has been caught on CCTV. The robber is clearly pictured walking up to his 36-year-old victim in Bournemouth, Dorset, and attacking him from behind. The thug – wearing shorts and a black T-shirt – punches Antonio Elio in the head, stunning him, and knocking him to the ground. He then demands the Brazilian-born man’s pin number. However, the father-of-two, who is seen clutching his face, is too stunned to give him the four-digit code. The attacker flees with just his card. The unprovoked attack was carried out in broad daylight Detectives in Bournemouth are appealing for help in identifying the culprit. The incident took place outside Barclays Bank in Wimborne Road, Winton, at around 6.30am on June 24. Detective Constable Steve May, of Bournemouth CID, said: “This was a brazen, vicious and unprovoked attack against an innocent man who was using a cashpoint machine while on his way to work in Christchurch. Police want to trace the attacker “I am appealing to anyone who knows the man in the CCTV footage – and where he may be – to contact the police in confidence or the Crimestoppers line anonymously as soon as possible. “Someone somewhere – perhaps several people – knows, or suspects they know, who this man is and I am appealing to them to look to their conscience, do the right thing and contact the police or Crimestoppers.” Mr Elio, a waste supervisor, sustained a cut lip and bruising in the attack. :: Anyone with

@jonnyd89 There are conditions for this and of course it does not apply for kids! And the one who decides is the court and who implements the decree is the formal authority of the country not the stolen person.

@mshbar So when do you start chopping off peoples hands? a little kid stealing sweets? Does that warrant a hand being chopped off? Should a first time shop lifter get there hand chopped off? Or is it only serious armed robberies?

@jonnyd89 who told you it is barbaric? Why wouldn’t the idea of the prison be barbaric? You were just raised up in a different environment this is why you can’t accept what I said. The judge might cut 1 person’s hand but in the other hand you might prevent 1000 future crimes of happening. Let’s think forward! There is nothing better than following the law of who created us.. God.. He knows us best! I know you might not believe in my belief but actually this is what I strongly believe.

@mshbar no because that’s barbaric. Imagine if you cut an innocent man’s hand off. He should get 10 years in prison or something like that

I would have jumped into the van & mowed him over parked the back wheel on his head enter the back of the van & jump up and down.

@boycottsaudi -ok fair enough – thats a more valid point – but the reason why i thought it looked racist was if you look in at about 35 seconds into the clip you see the chavy mugger looking like he’s shouting abuse at the bloke on the floor – if he was just after his money he would’ve ran off.

maximoo1972 September 4, 2010 at 1:22 pm

@boycottsaudi – no im gonna stay right here and try and stop racism instead in as peaceful a way as possible – i know its practically impossible in this violent piss taking bigoted country full of chavy scum – but im just going to hang out with the few good souls that are left – before the bmp scum kill this island off with their cancerous hatred. at least i can live with myself and not have blood and hate on my hands – thank you lol

thought crime doesnt existing in the UK. Thought only in places like South Africa you find things like this. fuckers!

texaspete66 September 4, 2010 at 6:22 pm

This evil motherfucker how I wish such viciousness to be unleashed upon him. I abhor theft in all its forms, I think its one of the worst crimes really I do – this confirms that .It made my blood boil to watch this. He didn’t use nor appear to have any weapons either so you hope if he tries it again either the victim or brave passers by will tackle him & smash his fucking skull in.

Supportahol September 4, 2010 at 7:14 pm

I swear to fucking god above i would have hit the theiving bastard with my van if i was him. What an utter PIG for hitting him like that. One of these days, he will meet his match. Karma.

good riddance to bad rubbish.

You’d think he’d watch his fucking back after the attack, but he goes right back to the machine, oblivious of his surroundings.!! I guess I been living in the city too long, but you should never ever let your guard down like that…. cuz this is what happens.

A bullet would have kept him there for the police……
