They were alerted to the incident by a saleswoman, who said the suspects had walked into her shop in northern Moscow at 0600 (0300 GMT) and begun ripping out the electronic payment machine without a word.
When she tried to protest, one of the suspects allegedly yelled at her: “Be quiet if you know what’s good for you!”
The frightened woman waited until the two men had left before phoning police, who dispatched two officers to Marshal Fedorenko Street where they blocked the BMW.
The man who allegedly carried the cash machine said he was a “professional sumo wrestler”.
