An attempt was made to remove an ATM in a ram raid-type incident at a shop in Craigavon last night.
The incident involving a stolen car happened just after 10:30pm.
A masked man in a black Opel Antara car reversed a number of times into the shutters of a shop on Lurgan Road, causing extensive damage to the shop front.
Detectives are investigating and are appealing for witnesses and information.
The masked man then entered the premises and made an attempt to remove the in-store ATM, without success.
The man then left in the vehicle, which has since been recovered in the Parkmore area of Craigavon.
The suspect who entered the shop is believed to have been wearing a dark hooded top with the hood pulled up, white shoes and tartan trousers with large checks – red and white – and either dark blue or black.
Detective Sergeant McCarragher is appealing for information.
“I am appealing to anyone who may have been in the Lurgan Road area last night just before or after 10:30pm and witnessed this incident to get in touch with us.
“I would also appeal to anyone who believes they saw the Opel Antara in the area or who has information about its movements after it was reported stolen earlier in the day from the Churchill Place area of Waringstown to call detectives in Lurgan on 101 and quote reference number 2240 of 31/07/20,” he said.
