Thieves have attempted to remove an ATM from a business in Fivemiletown.

A white transit type van rammed the premises several times, causing damage to the front of the shop and the ATM inside.

Detectives are investigating the attempted ATM theft during the early hours of this morning (Friday 11 October).

“It is believed the van drove off in the direction of the Edfield Way roundabout. Enquiries are continuing.

“I know this attempted theft will cause disruption to the public, but I want to reassure the community we will do everything we can to catch those responsible, however, we also need the public to help us and report anything suspicious they’ve seen in recent days or this morning,” he said.

And police are asking anyone with information to get in touch.

“If you have any information you believe may help our investigation or have any dash cam footage of the area, please call detectives on 101, quoting reference 113 11/10/19. It could make all the difference.

“Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime,” added Detective Inspector Will Tate.
