Default ATM stolen from Dungiven filling station
Thieves have used a digger to steal a cash machine from a shop in County Londonderry.

Police said the incident at a shop outside Dungiven happened at about 04:30 BST on Sunday.

According to the garage owners, CCTV revealed the raid, carried out by men in balaclavas, lasted 4mins and 10secs.

It is the latest in a series of ATM thefts on both sides of the Irish border, with the PSNI saying it was the eighth such incident in 2019.

The digger was stolen from a building site further down the road before being driven to the garage.

The owner of the garage said the CCTV footage showed thieves lowering the cash machine into a Citroen Berlingo car which had its roof cut off and drove away, with the machine protruding out of the top of the vehicle.

Last week, there were two separate incidents of cash machine thefts - one outside a shop in County Antrim and the the wall of a bank in County Monaghan in the Irish Republic.

...I guess taking it with them was one way to prevent withdrawal symptoms...

They were afraid someone might steal their PIN number

No they are not made up and they smack very much of IRA raids....
