Just outta curiosity what sort of money would be kept in them machines, ie how often are they filled? will they soon start to run them tighter so less money in the machine and possibly making it less attractive to thieves?

There isn't that much in the ATM's that were robbed for precisely that reason.....they are/have always been marked 'risky' as opposed to the likes sitting on Royal Avenue in Belfast etc. That's why they've had to hit so many so quick....I wonder what political party might 'launch' in the coming months now with a bankroll  :-X

They are filled when the level gets to X amount, like Petrol pumps at shops will automatically trigger the refill.

Amount wise, that's entirely up to the owners of the ATM but I'd hazard a refil anything between 5-20k. Insurance involved etc means it pretty much is a victimless crime - bar the obvious structural and social effect - that is by no means me saying it is fine either. I'm assuming a shop would be insured for that sort of thing, but I would be guessing there.
FFS, It's not a victimless crime though, we f**king pay for it, the insurance company will jack up premiums which will be passed onto us
The people who won't lose out are the insurance company
And when we see shop owners taking ATMs out of the walls and into the shops it'll become a right pain in the arse.

It already is!!! 3 shop ATM's in our Town at the minute and they all charge 95p per transaction as of the last couple of weeks!!

Sure banks charge you for lodging cash. It takes man power to process then move it up and down the country.
It's not a victimless crime and we will all pay for it. Especially if it is difficult to access cash it hits the most vulnerable in our society. That's why I am pissed about it. That's why the police should be making arrests and whatever paramilitary organisation that is facilitating or taxing it should be under political pressure to stop it.
This directly effects rural communities and and it's time it was stopped.

I reckon you're about 2 posts (max) from the inevitable SF mention here.

lol
Even I don't think they are to blame.

I don't know about anyone else but I do 99% of my business now cashless. I only use atm once a month at the most.

I'm the opposite. I rarely use credit or debit cards, unless it's impossible not to (concert tickets, flights etc). I've never used contactless and I don't intend to start. It's cash all the way for me.

Dye on the money is the way forward.
There was an expert on the radio at lunchtime today and he implied there might be dye on the money and some of the robbers would get nothing. They should announce that there was invisible dye on the money and put the frightners on the robbers and dissuade copy cat robberies.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

There's a guy on Twitter, self described security consultant & surveillance/intelligence specialist. Seems to suggest the ones behind it are three gangs all based along the border. Curious to know how dye would work on new plastic notes?

I hadn't thought about the plastic notes. I'm sure something will stick to them and stop money "laundering".

Just watched a video I saw on Facebook there showing the dungiven one. 4 minutes in total. They fairly wrecked the place too. Scumbags.

I wouldn't get to the pub much more than that either.

You could use some sort of acid I suppose that'd destroy the notes., not sure if you'd still want to do the bit where you spray the robber with it too lol

Ah, but they have a task force of highly trained donut eaters on it.


Currently staking out Upper Arthur street. Sure the bank is next door and the ATM on the far side of the building. What more enticing a target could there be? Only a matter of time...

Just looking at the map.....if they have any kind of OCD Newry must not be far away....it's not been targeted yet.

Saying that....the old saying goes, don't sh!t on your doorstep  ;)

What year was the first ATM stolen?  How many thefts in total?  Is it likely to be the same gang?

Not the same gang at all.  Numerous criminal gangs who had never done an ATM job watched on at the ineptitude of the PSNI to even catch a cold and they jumped on the gravy train.  My neighbor was the subject of a violent burglary a few months back and called 999. The cops came out the next day

Another 4 done last night , Armagh Antrim and 2 in Kells co Meath
