GARDAÍ IN MONAGHAN today recovered an ATM which had been stolen from a supermarket in Newry, county Down.
The ATM was stolen overnight and detectives in Drumass came across a white transit van with three men nearby. The men fled on foot, leaving the van behind. One, aged in his 20s, was arrested near the scene and is now in garda custody.
Inside the van, gardaí found an ATM. A forensic examination of the van and its contents is under way.
The search for the other two men is continuing, with the assistance of a number of other garda units.
Gardaí said the van was uncovered by gardaí who were patrolling under the new Operation Thor, which is targeting the country’s most prolific burglars.

The Simon Community, like SVdP, Peter McVerry and Focus Ireland, have a vested interest in maintaining homelessness.
It’s a business after all.
@Simon Sterne: wasn’t there a news report recently about some financial irregularity in the McVerry Trust, but silence since?
@Simon Sterne: what have you done to help the less fortunate recently?
@Joe Kelly: Plenty, but you won’t believe me anyway!
I’m confused 17% drop and a 20% increase?
@MHM: 20% increase refers to people now living in permanent homes, therefore no longer need and use homeless services
Mc Verry and his cronies are running out of rope,after demonising the small landlords gor years now coming back to haunt them..never had ant solutions only B/S rhetoric
@auben john: yeah cause housing over a 1000 people is definitely not a solution to homelessness is it?
And yet there’s a 17 percent rise in support for the Ukraine(a) war!
Far too many homeless charities all with high overhead costs. It’s a huge industry creating employment. Should be restructured into one agency and the money they save be spent on actual homeless people.
@Peter Barnwallace: the money was just resting in their account before they moved it on!
have your say
