Gang make withdrawal from hole in the wall

A GANG of thieves made an unusual withdrawal yesterday, when they ripped an ATM machine out of a wall and drove away with it in the back a stolen lorry.

The raiders used a hydraulic hoist at the back of the vehicle to make the hole in the wall at a petrol station in Clones, Co Monaghan, yesterday morning.

When gardaí heard the alarms go off they arrived to find the tyres on their two patrol cars had been slashed.
