Appeal after ATM tampered with to steal cash

Police want to speak to this man following reports someone tampered with an ATM to steal cash.

Police have been looking into the incident since then and are now in a position to release an image of someone they believe could assist them with their investigation.

“Anyone who has any information is asked to share it with the police by calling 101, quoting incident 349 of 7 December 2024, while they can also report it anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
