Watch below: Seven people have been arrested in connection with a string of brazen ATM robberies throughout rural Alberta. Tom Vernon filed this report on Oct. 18, 2016.
The theft happened earlier this month.
According to police, officers were called to a break and enter at a Shell gas station in the Gasoline Alley area of Red Deer at around 4 a.m. on Oct. 14.
They said a pair of suspects got in to the gas station by cutting a hole in the roof and climbing down a tow rope. Mounties said the suspects then used a sledgehammer and a crowbar to open the ATM.
Anyone with information on the theft is asked to contact the Blackfalds RCMP detachment at 403-885-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
