Those involved in the theft of two ATMs in Dundalk, Co Louth overnight “were reckless” in relation to the impact of their actions on Gardai.

That’s according to Garda Superintendent Gerry Curley, Dundalk, who said that as well as burning two cars at the garda station, they also rammed two garda patrol cars as they attempted to make their escape.
