Two people have been arrested and an ATM recovered following a theft at Nutt’s Corner in the early hours of Tuesday (April 30).
Police received a report that a digger was being used to remove an ATM from a service station on the Tully Road at around 3.30am this morning.
Detective Inspector Richard Thornton said police immediately directed considerable resources to the area and two arrests were made and the stolen ATM recovered.
“Both people are currently in custody and will be questioned on suspicion of theft and a number of other offences,” he said.
The Tully Road remains closed and diversions are in place whilst the scene is examined further.

And police are appealing for witnesses.
“I would ask anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity in the Nutts Corner area overnight to contact detectives on 101. 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 the Detective Inspector.
