Gardaí hunt 2 gangs over ATM raid

TWO criminal gangs specialising in smash-and-grab raids are on the shortlist of suspects for a dramatic raid on an ATM in Tinahely, Co Wicklow.

A six-man gang used a digger to demolish the front of a Bank of Ireland building on Dwyer’s Square before removing the ATM machine and making their getaway by car.

Local publican Simon Byrne, who runs the Seavers pub next door to the bank, told reporters that when he checked on the commotion one of the raiders put a gun to his face and told him to go back to his pub.
