A vehicle is reported to have rammed shutters at a Co Antrim garage in an attempted ATM theft early this morning.
Police are appealing for information following the incident on a forecourt on the Largy Road area of Ahoghill between 2.05 and 2.25am.
The garage shutters were damaged in the incident but the would-be thief left empty handed.
Detective Sergeant Lenaghan said: "Shortly after 2:05am, it was reported that a car believed to be a dark coloured Vauxhall Vectra arrived at a garage forecourt in the area. The vehicle then reversed, ramming the outside shutters of the premises a number of times.
"A male then got out of the car and attempted to break into the ATM on site. The male made off in the vehicle from the scene empty handed. Damage was reported to the shutters following the incident.
"Enquiries are continuing and we would appeal to anyone who witnessed any suspicious vehicles in the area between 2:05am and 2:25am on Friday 21 February to contact detectives on 101, quoting reference number 118 21/02/20.
