YARRA Glen Police are on the hunt for thieves who stole an ATM from the Yarra Glen Newsagency on Sunday night, after cutting a hole in the business’s roof.
Sergeant Richard Coulson said that at 10.38pm on Sunday, 16 October, two people wearing balaclavas cut a hole in the roof of the newsagency, entered the building and stole an ATM.
The thieves then forced their way out the back door of the premises, setting off an audible alarm.
Sgt Coulson said the thieves would have needed a vehicle, possibly a ute, to take the ATM away, as it weighed about 120 kilograms.
He said police saw a third potential offender, a woman with a backpack, around the same time on CCTV footage.
Anyone who saw any suspicious activity or vehicles in Yarra Glen between 10.30-11pm on Sunday night is asked to call Yarra Glen Police on 9730 1296.
