PSNI Hunt Armed Gang After Aughnacloy Filling Station Robbery

Detectives are appealing for witnesses and dash-cam footage after an armed robbery at a filling station on the Caledon Road in Aughnacloy on Wednesday, 8 October 2025.

The incident was reported to police at approximately 6.40am. A group of masked men, wearing boiler suits and armed with suspected firearms, threatened security staff who were attending an ATM at the premises.

The gang ordered the staff into the ATM bunker before removing cash boxes from the security van and the cash machine. They made off with a significant sum of cash.

The suspects fled the scene in the direction of Armagh in a dark-coloured Audi Q7.

Detective Inspector McCamley stated that the robbery was a "shocking experience for the staff involved" and urged the public to provide any information they have.
