Gardaí search for machines worth €100k stolen in Cork

GARDAÍ are searching for two machines worth a combined €100,000 which were stolen from a compound in Cork city last weekend.

A five tonne JCB 450 mini-excavator and a 06-registered JCB 540-140 teleporter were taken from contractors preparing ground works for the flyover at the Bandon road roundabout.

Gardaí have not ruled out the possibility that the machines could be used by criminals to smash open ATMs.
