There has been another ATM theft in Saskatchewan.
The RCMP was called early Wednesday to a break-and-enter and theft of an ATM from a business in Paradise Hill, located 65 kilometres northeast of Lloydminster.
Mounties said the investigation determined that two vehicles and four suspects were involved in the incident.
Police believe that by using one of the vehicles, the suspects were able to reverse the vehicle into the building, gain access to the ATM and then flee with the cash machine using the second vehicle travelling westbound on Highway 3.
The ATM was later located and recovered empty near Kitscoty, Alta. One of the vehicles recovered had been stolen from Alberta.
The second vehicle has not been located. It is described as a white, four-door, one-ton truck with a flat deck.
The RCMP has not connected this incident to other ATM thefts recently in Shaunavon, Eatonia and Burstall. In that last incident, a stolen tractor was used to steal an ATM.
