PSNI Renew Appeal For Witnesses To Aughnacloy Robbery

The PSNI have issued a fresh appeal for information and witnesses to an armed robbery at a filling station in the Aughnacloy area at around 6.40am on Wednesday, 8 October 2025.

It is understood that a short time earlier, a group of men wearing boiler suits and masks, and armed with suspected firearms, threatened security staff who were attending an ATM at the premises on the Caledon Road.

Detective Inspector McCamley said this would have been a "shocking experience for the staff involved."

The masked group ordered staff into the ATM bunker before stealing cash boxes from both the security van and the cash machine, making off with a significant sum of cash.

The suspects fled the scene in the direction of Armagh in a dark-coloured Audi Q7. Police also suspect that a light-coloured Skoda Superb was involved. As part of their enquiries, the PSNI confirmed they are liaising with An Garda Síochána.

Detective Inspector McCamley is urging anyone who noticed any suspicious behaviour around the filling station in recent days or who was travelling in the area at the time of the robbery to get in touch.

"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," he added.

Any information can also be provided using the online non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport
