OPP Const. Ed Sanchuk said three suspects had a pair of vehicles on scene.
They initially attempted to remove the ATM before they then used one of the vehicles for extra power.
“One of the suspects then grabbed a black- or grey-coloured pickup truck,” he explained on Twitter. “They then took the truck, reversed it into the gas station. Tied something around the ATM and forcefully removed the ATM from the store.“
He estimated the damage to the store to be at least $75,000.
