The PSNI thinks an organised crime gang could be targeting rural shops and filling stations here.

Detectives are investigating whether there's a link between more than 15 incidents across Northern Ireland.

We're told the burglaries spread from the likes of Enniskillen to Larne.

The criminals are said to follow a similar pattern of breaking in, disabling security systems then using machinery to try and get into ATMs.

Police say they're working hard to identify those responsible.
