Dash cam footage is being sought by police after an ATM was raided using a digger.

The theft took place in the Forth area of South Lanarkshire on Friday.

Police were called at 4.10am after four people wearing balaclavas used a Manitou digger to forcibly remove an ATM from the wall of Bobby's Newsagents in Main Street, causing extensive damage to the building.

The suspects then made off in a silver Kia Sorrento, which had been modified to fit the ATM.

The car was later recovered by police in the Carnwath area.

The ATM is believed to contain tens of thousands of pounds.

Detective sergeant Erin Renwick from Wishaw CID said: "We are appealing to anyone who was in the vicinity of Main Street, Forth, in the early hours of Friday morning and may have seen or heard anything at all suspicious to please get in touch.

"We would also ask any motorists with dashcams who were travelling between the Forth and Carnwath areas to check in case they have captured any footage which could be of significance to the investigation. The silver Kia Sorrenta was very obviously modified and we would appeal to anyone who noticed this vehicle to get in touch.

"Anyone with information is asked to contact Wishaw CID via 101, quoting incident number 0397 of Friday October 12.

"Alternatively you can call Crimstoppers on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence."
