Duo arrested but police appeal for more info following ATM attacks

Two men have been arrested following a spate of ATM attacks across the Central Belt including Lanarkshire.

Between Sunday, January 30, and Wednesday, February 2, cash machines in Milngavie, Ayr, Motherwell and Livingston were targeted.

While the majority of these incidents were unsuccessful, a six figure sum was taken when the ATM in Motherwell was attacked.

Two men aged 32 and 30 have so far been arrested and charged and are remanded in custody.

However, officers believe there are other individuals involved and are urging members of the public with information to come forward.

Detective Chief Inspector Graeme Lindsay told Lanarkshire Live: “So far, our investigation has resulted in two arrests but we are keen to identify all others who played a part and I am hopeful that our communities can assist with this.

“If you remember seeing any suspicious activity around the ATMs in Milngavie, Ayr, Motherwell and Livingston, in the days preceding or at the time of the incidents, then please contact police immediately.

“Similarly, if you believe you may have any relevant CCTV or dash-cam footage of any of these incidents and have yet to pass it on to us, then please do so as soon as possible.”

Anyone with any information in relation to the incident is asked to contact police on 101.

Information can be left anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
