NSW: Thieves drive ute through shopping centre doors

SYDNEY, Feb 10 AAP - Thieves used a ute to smash through the glass doors of a NSW central
coast shopping centre in an attempt to steal an ATM.

Police attended the Tuggerah complex in response to an alarm shortly before 6.30am (AEDT) today.

The glass doors had been smashed and a cash machine inside was damaged.

"At this stage police have located evidence to suggest that a vehicle had been driven
into the centre and crashed into the ATM and that the offenders fled the scene empty-handed,"

police said.

An abandoned ute was discovered in nearby bushland.
