New appeal for information about Aughnacloy armed robbery

POLICE have issued a fresh appeal for information about an armed robbery at a filling station in Aughnacloy earlier this month.

At around 6.40am on Wednesday, October 8, a group of men wearing boiler suits and masks, armed with suspected firearms, threatened security staff who had been attending an ATM at the premises on the Caledon Road.

Detective Inspector McCamley, who is leading the investigation into the robber, said: “All information relating to this armed robbery is needed.

“This would have been a shocking experience for the staff involved. This masked group had ordered staff into the ATM bunker then removed cash boxes from the security van and the cash machine.

“They then made off from the scene in the direction of Armagh in a dark-coloured Audi Q7 with a significant sum of cash and a light coloured Skoda Superb is also suspected to be involved. As part of our enquiries, we are liaising with An Garda Síochána.

“We are asking anyone with information or who may be able to help with our investigation to call us on 101 quoting 191 08/10/25.

“If you noticed any suspicious behaviour in and around this filling station in recent days or if you were travelling in the area at this time, we want to hear from you.

“Similarly if you have dashcam covering this area or live in the general area and may have a doorbell camera, your information could be valuable to our investigation.”
