Attempt to break into village ATM

DETECTIVES are investigating an attempt to break into an ATM in Castle Donington.

Police were called to around 11.30pm on Tuesday, May 22, to a report that the thieves had attempted to break into the machine at a fuel station in Station Road.

The attempt caused significant damage to the machine but no access was gained and no money was taken.

The premises were cordoned off on Wednesday morning while officers carried out a full forensic examination of the scene.

Detective Sergeant David Speight, from the Complex Investigation team, said: “As part of our enquiries we believe that three or four men attempted to open the cash machine using an angle grinder and after being unsuccessful, they left the scene in a grey Seat Leon which travelled south of the county.

“Did you see anyone acting suspiciously in the area before the machine was targeted? Did you see the men as they made off in the Leon?

“If you have any information regarding the incident, please get in touch with us.”
