Rumours of a bombing at the machine, which is situated at the shopping complex on the corner of Largo and Ermelo roads in Strubenvale, were rife on Sunday morning but Prinsloo says there was no bombing.

Prinsloo says there was a lot of smoke and upon investigation they found the paper in the dustbin to be on fire.
He believes the paper in the dustbin attached to the ATM was set alight on purpose but, as staff at the pharmacy managed to extinguish the fire quickly, there was no damage to the ATM which is once again operating.
