Detective Constable Ian Morris said: “Thankfully the offenders were unable to break into the ATM but they did steal a quantity of cash and cigarettes from inside the store.
“We are determined to identify the offenders and bring them to justice.
“Enquiries are ongoing and as part of our investigation we are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the burglary or believes they may have seen the offenders in the area.
