Witnesses sought following attempted ATM theft

Following on from an incident on Wednesday, January 16, in which Gardaí foiled an attempted ATM theft in Co. Louth, witnesses are now being sought.

Gardaí are also requesting the public’s assistance in locating a white pick-up 4×4 that is thought to have been used as the getaway vehicle.

The incident occurred on Wednesday morning at around 4:30am, when the culprits attempted to pull an ATM out of the wall of a Bank of Ireland branch in Dunleer, Co. Louth. They were foiled by Garda officers attached to the Garda Armed Support unit.

Gardaí are looking for anyone who may have witnessed any irregular activity in the Ardee, Dunleer and Stabannon areas of the county between 4:00am and 5:00am on the morning in question.
