Thieves use digger to steal ATM from bank in Cavan

In a separate incident, an ATM was also stolen in Tyrone overnight.

GARDAÍ IN CAVAN have begun an investigation after the theft of an ATM from the wall of a bank on Main Street, Kingscourt.

The alarm was raised at 4am and officers attended the scene.

Upon arrival, they discovered a large digger had been used to remove the ATM from the bank.

It was placed on a trailer being towed by a light-coloured four-wheel drive vehicle (SUV).

This vehicle left the scene in the direction of Carrickmacross.

The scene has been sealed off to facilitate a technical examination by garda crime scene examiners.

Gardaí have asked anyone with information in relation to the incident to contact them at Bailieboro Garda Station on 042 969 4570.

In a separate incident at 4.15am in Dungannon, Tyrone, thieves used a digger to steal an ATM from a garage.

The PSNI said the digger caused substantial damage to the building, before it was set alight at the scene. It had been stolen from a business a short distance away.

Police in the North also appealed for witnesses to come forward.

    Been getting my hair cut in Pip Connolly’s since the late 70′s – he won’t take new customers now, only his regulars, but he’s still going strong.
    Great to see Eric’s shots – the story of Ireland, along with the likes of Matt Kavanagh and Peter Thursfield.

    Why? Because multiculturalism is a load of tripe? All races are equally OK, all cultures are not.

    @Greg Blake:

    Imported medievalism dressed up in progressive authoritarianism and liberal bigotry.

    Great photos, Eric. Very evocative. You were always a great photographer, and a gentleman to work with back in the IP days.

    That’s a good thing though,the empty churches are a sign of progress and better education.

    That may be the case Easter,but it’s unusual to only have one pew in a church.
