Digger used to help raiders rip out ATM

RAIDERS made off with a substantial amount of money yesterday morning when they used a JCB digger to rip out a bank machine at a Co Wexford petrol station.

Gardaí believe the gang stole the ATM at the Mace Maxol filling station at Bellfield in Enniscorthy at about 5am. CCTV footage of the incident revealed a number of vehicles passed the petrol station while the raid was in progress.

The gang used a mechanical digger that had been parked nearby. The raidresulted in severe damage to the station.
