ATM gutted from the wall of busy Naas petrol station overnight

A Garda investigation is underway in Naas after an ATM machine was gutted from the wall of a busy petrol station in the town.

Staff at the Maxol petrol station on the Sallins Road in Naas arrived into work this morning to find a heavy Garda presence following the theft of cash from an ATM on the exterior wall of the premises.

Gardaí confirmed that a sum of cash was also taken during the early morning raid.

At this stage, Gardaí are not releasing any details on how the machine was ripped from the wall, although there are numerous parts of the ATM scattered all over the surrounding area.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time and may have noticed something to come forward by contacting Naas Garda Station on 045884300.
