Gardaí to crack down on ‘hole in the wall’ raiders

A SENIOR officer is to lead a Garda operation to combat a sharp rise in so-called “hole-in-the-wall” raids on ATM machines.

There have been six such raids in the past seven weeks, including two since last Friday.

In each case, stolen JCBs or diggers were used todemolish ATM bays and scoop out cash machines.
