Bristol cash machine explosion damages shop fronts
A cash machine has been destroyed in an explosion, damaging windows and shop fronts.
The ATM explosion happened at about 03:50 GMT on the A38 Gloucester Road in Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police said no passers-by or nearby residents were hurt. Gloucester Road is closed between Church Road and Ashley Down. Police said it would be shut through rush hour and urged drivers to avoid the area. A nearby resident said the explosion shook her whole house. "I thought something had landed on my roof," she said. "I came out assuming there had been a car crash, but heard several men shouting instead. "We're ten doors down so it was quite a sound, it shook me up a bit."
