Detectives investigating the attempted theft of an ATM in the border village of Derrylin in Co Fermanagh have arrested a man. Police arrested a 42-year-old man in the Hull area yesterday, following a series of thefts and attempted ATM thefts across the North. The man has since been transported to Northern Ireland and taken to custody for questioning.

In a statement issued to Northern Sound, Detective Chief Inspector Ciara Mullan said; “Detectives from the Organised Crime Branch investigating nine burglaries and attempted burglaries of ATMs across Northern Ireland have arrested a 42-year-old man in the Hull area yesterday.

“He was arrested on suspicion of seven counts of burglary, two counts of attempted burglary and 26 counts of criminal damage. He remains in police custody at this time. We hope this arrest shows that we are 100% committed to putting a stop to this type of crime. Our investigation into these incidents continue, and I am appealing to anyone who could assist with our enquiries, to call us on 101.”
