Explosives Used On Cash Machine
Money has been stolen from a cash machine in Co Armagh after thieves placed explosives on the device.
The incident happened at Rice's supermarket in Keady at around 2.15am on Wednesday.
Police attended the scene after a loud bang was reported in the area. When they arrived, they found the front panel of the ATM damaged and money had been stolen.
Army bomb disposal experts are investigating the scene.
The attack has been condemned by local politicians.
Sinn Féin MLA Cathal Boylan visited the scene and said: "I have spoken to staff and customers of Rice's supermarket and they are shocked at what has happened. This latest incident comes just weeks after an ATM was targeted in the same fashion in Hamiltonsbawn.
"Rural communities rely on these amenities and for them to be targeted in this war by criminal elements is extremely damaging for local people. This is the second such incident in recent weeks and local people are worried that it is the same perpetrators at work. Those responsible have shown little regard for the local community."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
