POLICE are still hunting for a gang who blew up a cash machine at a Burnley bank.
Raiders used gas cannisters to blow up a Barclays ATM in Colne Road in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Officers, who are hoping to track down CCTV footage of the explosion, have yet to arrest anyone in connection with the incident, which caused extensive damage to the machine and to the door of the bank in the Duke Bar area of the town.

Witnesses described three men driving off from the scene in an estate vehicle, which they believed was possibly an Audi.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact police on 101 quoting log number 0199 of January 4.
The cash machine is believed to hold in the region of £100,000, but it has not been confirmed how much the thieves escaped with in the incident, which is the first of its kind to take place in East Lancashire.
