Appeal for information following ATM theft in Sawbridgeworth

Officers are appealing for witnesses, information and footage following the theft of a cash machine in Sawbridgeworth this morning (Tuesday 23 April).

Police were called shortly before 5.30am to report that the ATM outside Nationwide in Knight Street had been pulled from the wall by a stolen telehandler.

It was then loaded onto a white pickup truck which fled the scene.

At least three males were thought to be involved in the incident.

Neighbourhood Inspector Mark Collins said: “Enquiries are continuing this morning and we’re working with our colleagues at Sawbridgeworth Town Council to review any CCTV opportunities.

“We are aware that several people may have captured footage of the incident which could assist us. If you have any CCTV, doorbell camera, phone or dash cam footage from the area around the time, please get in touch asap, using the dedicated link to upload it directly to our system for review. Thank you.”

You can upload footage directly to the Dams system.

Any additional information can be reported online, to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or by calling the non-emergency number 101, quoting ISR 71 of 23 April, 2024.

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form.
