Police investigating an attempted theft of an ATM machine are appealing for witnesses.

It happened at around 4.45am this morning at the M2 services at Farthing Corner between Gillingham and Sittingbourne.

Two people, believed to be men, tired to rip the cashpoint from the wall but failed and drove off in a vehicle.

The bungled attack happened at the fuel station on the coastbound carriageway.

A police spokesman said: "Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact our appeals line on 01634 792209 quoting reference number 18-0219 or anonymously to Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
