It's the 9th time an ATM robbery has occurred so far this year.
Yet another cash machine has been ripped from the wall of a shop in Ireland.
The robbery took place in the early hours of this morning in Market Square in Bushmills, Co Antrim.
Like previous crimes of this nature, a digger was used to remove the ATM.
There's been another ATM theft in Northern Ireland. This time a digger and tractor were set on fire in Bushmills, Co.Antrim. Special PSNI unit under pressure to start producing results as rural businesses left in fear of gangs responsible.More on @qnewsdesk
