Hole cut in ATM near Richhill – cash stolen

A hole was cut in the back of an ATM near Richhill and a sum of money stolen.

It is believed this theft happened during the night at the service station on the Portadown Road.


Detectives investigating the burglary are appealing for information.

Chief Inspector Tim Flanigan said police received a report at around 2.30pm today (13 May) that an ATM at a service station had been broken into.

“This theft will, of course, cause disruption to the local community. And I am appealing to anyone with information, or who noticed any suspicious activity in the area, to get in touch on 101 quoting reference number 862 of 13/05/20,” he said.

And he is appealing to people to contact police if they see or hear anything suspicious.

“More generally, I would encourage people who live close to rural businesses, such as filling stations, to tell police immediately if they see any unusual activity in the area.

“For example, if you hear machinery late at night or in the early hours please let us know.  Also, if you see people or vehicles appearing to pay particular attention to certain premises, call police on 101. In an emergency, or if you suspect a crime is in progress, dial 999,” he added.
