GARDAÍ ARE INVESTIGATING after a fire broke out at an ATM in Celbridge last night.
Garda units and the fire brigade attended the scene after the alarm sounded at the Ulster Bank ATM on Main Street in Celbridge at 4:30am this morning.
The fire was confined to the ATM and was extinguished. Gardaí were still investigating the scene this morning.
Scorch marks can be seen surrounding the ATM while the Ulster Bank sign that usually sits above appears to be missing following the blaze.
This is the second time a fire has broken out at the same ATM, with a similar incident occurring at around the same time in December 2014.
Gardaí are investigating the incident and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

It baffles me as to how the Gardai can congratulate themselves for shutting down the Kinahan shop when it was the US Govt who did what the Gardai should have done years ago. We all know where the ‘hotspots’ are but why these areas are not blitzed is beyond belief. When Drew Harris cannot even sack an unfit member of the Gardai, it says it all
@Barrycelona: They get rid of one bad bunch and they are soon replaced by an even worse bunch. Legalization of drugs is probably the best way to go. The money spent on the “War on Drugs” could then be turned to rehab facilities and education. The Gardai for their part are simply overwhelmed at this point and the temptation for riches on the part of the drug dealers is simply too great.
Wow I feel so much safer already.
35kg or 25kg?
@Geoff Bateman: 60kg
@Geoff Bateman: amateurs
Wonder how long that will last in the evidence room
@Mr Jerry Curtin: Ah ah ah ah …
Choooooo….oops.
Looks like they got the street value wrong 36 kg is worth way more than 1.75 million. 36 ounces in a kg . An ounce goes for roughly 2 grand. 36×2000×25=2,520,000 euro. If they brought it down to street level smaller amounts you could double it to over 5 million. The guards usually exaggerate. Strange.
Dodge city that place
Han Ed are this will lead to an escalation of one of the many gang wars going on possibly with someone getting killed over it.
have your say
