Rhodes, in Sydney's South West

According to The SMH Rhodes is now in Sydney's South West. For those who don't know where it really is, I suggest you look on a map. It is on the southern shore of the Paramatta River. But it is actually just as far North as North Sydney. I just wish the editors at the SMH would use a map.

Explosions have destroyed two ATMs at banks in Sydney's south-west overnight.

Police are appealing for assistance after the explosions, which occurred at a shopping centre in Chester Hill and in Rhodes.

Witnesses reported seeing a dark-colour Audi sedan leaving both areas, police said.

The first explosion occurred at around 12.20am at a shopping centre on Leicester Street, Chester Hill and although the ATM was destroyed, no cash was taken, police say.

Police were alerted by alarms.

The second occurred at 1.05am in Rider Boulevard, Rhodes. That machine was also destroyed and an amount of cash taken.

Anyone who witnessed either explosion, or suspicious activity in the respective areas, is urged to contact detectives via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The Daily Telegraph describes Rhodes correctly as more being in the Inner West.
