It is a fairly isolated area but police would like to hear from anyone if they saw anything suspicious.

Inspector David Anderson of Ballymoney PSNI said: “Not only does the contractor have to pay the bill to fix the damage but the machine will also be out of commission for a number of days.”

Police can be contacted on 08456008000 or phone the Crimestoppers confidential freephone number on 0800555111.
