PSNI appeal for witnesses following cash theft from filling station ATM

Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward following the theft of cash from a filling station in County Londonderry.

Damage was caused to an ATM machine and cash stolen during the incident and PSNI detectives are now appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

Police received a report just after midday on Wednesday 15th February that “substantial damage” had been caused to a bunker housing an ATM at commercial premises on the Mussenden Road in Articlave.

Detective Inspector Jack said: “There appears to have been forced entry to the bunker, and a heavy steel door located at the rear of the bunker was prised open, before a significant sum of money was taken.

“Our investigation is now underway to determine what happened. I am appealing to anyone who was in the area between 12am and 4am and who may have mobile or dash-cam footage which could assist with our enquiries, to call us on 101, quoting reference number 801 of 15/02/23.

“I also want to urge people to continue to be vigilant and report to police any suspicious activity they see in their area,” he added.
