Two men posing as workmen attempt ATM theft at children’s hospital

Two men attempted to steal an ATM from the Royal Victoria Children’s Hospital in Belfast.

Police received a report that at 3.15am on Saturday two men dressed as workmen had entered the hospital and loaded the ATM machine on to a trolley and attempted to take it to a vehicle waiting outside.

They left empty-handed, leaving the machine intact at the scene.

A PSNI spokesperson said: “Officers attended and searches were carried out but unfortunately we were unable to locate the suspects.”

They urged people “to continue to be vigilant, and to report any suspicious activity they see immediately to police”.

Police are appealing to anyone in the area between 3am and 4.15am with mobile or dashcam footage to help with inquiries as the investigation continues.
