Adam Murphy A MEMBER of a gang which stole hundreds of thousands of pounds by blowing up cash machines has been jailed for 17 years.

In total, £130,300 was taken from a cash machine outside the Barclays branch on Lodge Drive in Culcheth in May 2013. And £97,070 was stolen from a Barclays ATM at Birchwood Shopping Centre in September the same year. Seven men were later jailed for a combined 92 years over the string of attacks. But an eighth conspirator, Adam Murphy, spent seven years on the run and fled abroad before finally being captured by police in Liverpool in December 2019.
