TEAM OF DETECTIVES TO INVESTIGATE RISE IN ATM THEFTS

摘要

The PSNI's Organised Crime Branch have allocated a team of detectives to investigate ATM thefts and are appealing to the public for information following an increase in thefts of ATMs across Northern Ireland. Detective Inspector Richard Thornton said: "Recently there has been an upsurge in the number of ATM machines ripped from the walls of commercial premises using plant machinery which, more often than not, has been stolen from a nearby farm or building site and then destroyed after each incident. The attacks tend to occur more frequently, but not exclusively, in rural areas, and are a serious cause for concern for us all.
