Raiders steal ATM machine

An automated telling machine has been ripped from a filling station in Carlow town.

It is understood a recovery truck pulled the machine from the wall at the Delmac Garage on O’Brien Road in the town.

No alarm went off and gardai were informed by passing motorists that the ATM was gone.

The truck and a white Mitsubishi car, believed to be involved in the raid, were discovered shortly afterwards near Castledermot. Gardaí are still seeking a white Subaru in connection with the raid.

The ATM was also found but it is not clear yet how much money was taken.

This is the second attempt to steal an ATM in the town in the space of two months. The last attempt took place at an Ulster Bank ATM.
