A man has been charged in connection with a range of ATM attacks spanning almost eight months by police.

The Times understands one of the incidents relates to an attack on an ATM last month at the Co-Op in Weston Road, Long Ashton, although other specific alleged crimes have not been confirmed.

Nicholas Stephen Mann, aged 24, from Kingsdown in Bristol, has been charged by Avon and Somerset Constabulary with conspiracy to steal on dates from September 29 last year to May 8.

He has also been charged with assault and attempting to resist arrest, and will appear in Bristol Magistrates’ Court today (Friday).
