The perpetrators were able to flee across the border. For the time being, the N12 will be closed to road traffic due to police investigation.
The area around the cash machine, including the bank building itself, has suffered major damage as a result of the explosion. The suspects would have had to enter the building through a door to gain access to the ATM.
Police have asked for witnesses to come forward with information pertaining to the incident, particularly those who might have observed suspicious activity or cars around the area. Anyone with information should contact 113.
