There’s been a lot of these thefts lately.

The PSNI has arrested two men in connection with an investigation into recent ATM thefts.

Two men, one aged in his 20s and one in his 30s, were arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including theft, criminal damage and arson.

The PSNI has said that both men are assisting them with their enquiries.

Wednesdays arrests follow the arrest of two people on Tuesday following the theft of an ATM at Nutts Corner in Antrim in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Detective Inspector Richard Thornton said: “Police received a report that a digger was being used to remove an ATM from a service station on the Tully Road at around 3.30am this morning.

“We immediately directed considerable policing resources to the area and two arrests were made and the stolen ATM recovered. Both people are currently in custody and will be questioned on suspicion of theft and a number of other offences,” Thornton said.
