Appeal For Information On Richhll ATM Theft
PSNI detectives have issued an appeal for information and witnesses following the theft of an ATM from a filling station on the Portadown Road, Richhill.
Making the appeal, Detective Inspector Handley said: "A report was received shortly after 4.45am on Tuesday morning, 20th December of suspicious activity in the area.
"On the arrival of officers, a digger was located on fire and a built in cash machine had been stolen from the premises, causing substantial damage to the building.
"Our colleagues from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service attended and extinguished the fire. We believe the digger was stolen from a site a short distance away.
"Two men were observed wearing dark clothing as they placed the ATM into a trailer and then set fire to the digger before leaving in a white van towards the Portadown Road.
"We have since recovered the van, trailer and ATM on the Moy Road and a full investigation is now underway to determine the circumstances surrounding this theft.
"I am appealing to anyone who was in the area between 4.30am and 4.45am and saw what happened, or who has information which could assist our investigation to call us.
"In particular, I am appealing to anyone who saw a white van towing a trailer in the Portadown Road and Moy Road areas to get in touch with detectives by calling 101, quoting reference 183 of 20/12/22."
Alternatively, information can also be provided by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
