It happened at a supermarket in a retail park at the Ballymena Road, Antrim town in the early hours of this morning.

Two cash boxes were taken during the incident, while the structure holding the ATMs was damaged.

Detectives believe a white Mitsubishi L200, stolen in Ballyclare last night, was involved.

The vehicle was later found burnt-out.

PSNI detectives have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.

Meanwhile, the DUP said the audacity of the ATM theft is "quite startling".

MP Paul Girvan said: "It shows how confident the perpetrators are in both executing the crime but also evading any detection.

"It is not long since a similar theft occurred in Ballyclare. Catching those responsible and serving justice for their crimes is the best deterrent to ensure these thefts cease."
