Gardaí are appealing for the public’s assistance after a digger was used to steal an ATM and cash in Monaghan.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses following an incident that saw an ATM and an undisclosed amount of cash stolen in Monaghan.

The incident happened at around 3pm on Sunday at the Bank of Ireland branch on Main Street in Ballybay.

According to RTÉ, after it was removed, the ATM was placed on another trailer and driven from Ballybay by a dark coloured Toyota Land Cruiser in the direction of Carrickmacross.

It was joined in convoy by a silver coloured BMW car. One of the wheels on the passenger side of the trailer was missing.

The Main Street in Ballybay was initially closed off, but it has since reopened.

Gardaí have said that they won’t know until Monday how much cash was in the ATM at the time it was stolen.
