Duo disguised as workmen use trolley in attempted theft of ATM from Royal Victoria Children’s Hospital
Two males disguised as workmen attempted to steal an ATM from the Royal Victoria Children’s Hospital on Saturday morning (February 7).
It was reported to police that around 3.15am two men had entered the hospital and loaded the ATM machine onto a trolley and attempted to take it to a vehicle waiting outside. The duo, however, left empty handed with the machine remaining intact at the scene.
Detective Sergeant Robson said: “Officers attended and searches were carried out but unfortunately we were unable to locate the suspects.
“I am appealing to anyone who was in the area of the Children's Hospital between 3am & 4.15am and who may have mobile or dash-cam footage which could assist with our enquiries, to call us on 101, quoting reference number 211 07/02/26.
“I also want to urge people to continue to be vigilant, and to report any suspicious activity they see immediately to police.”
Alternatively, information can also be provided by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
