“This would have been a shocking experience for the staff involved.”

The police have issued a fresh appeal for witnesses and have asked anyone with dash-cam footage to get in touch three weeks after an armed robbery at a filling station in Co Tyrone.

It was reported at around 6.40am Wednesday, October 8, that a short time earlier 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 in Aughnacloy.

The group then made off from the scene in the direction of Armagh. The PSNI are liasing with An Garda Síochána as part of their enquiries.

Detective Inspector McCamley 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.”
