A SEARCH involving the Garda and the PSNI continued yesterday across the Fermanagh-Monaghan border for a gang that robbed an ATM machine from a supermarket in Newtownbutler, Co Fermanagh, on Saturday.

The gang struck at the premises around 4.30am and used a mechanical digger to rip out the cash vending machine.

Local residents who were awoken by the noise raised the alarm but the gang had made their getaway in a waiting vehicle before police arrived.
