Three men made off with a substantial amount of money after blowing up an Absa automated teller machine (ATM) in Hammersdale on Monday morning, KwaZulu-Natal police said.

Superintendent Henry Budhram said the incident took place at Wallers Caltex service station at 2am.

He said a security guard saw two men approaching the machine but presumed they were customers.

"A short while later, he heard three explosions and noticed the men carrying a bag and fleeing towards a vehicle," said Budhram.

The robbers fled the scene and no arrests were made. - Sapa
