Another small Saskatchewan community has experienced an ATM theft. Turtleford RCMP report there was a break and enter and theft of an ATM at a business in Paradise Hill, which is about 65 kilometres northeast of Lloydminster. Police responded around 6:40 a.m. Thursday morning.
A news release from the Saskatchewan RCMP says two vehicles and four suspects were involved. One vehicle backed into the business and the ATM was stolen. The suspects, with the ATM, then fled in the second vehicle traveling west on Highway 3. The ATM was later recovered empty near Kitscoty, Alberta.
Investigators say the suspects had a firearm and may still have it with them. One of the vehicles was previously reported stolen from Alberta but has been located in Saskatchewan. The second vehicle hasn’t been found yet. It is a described as a white 4-door one-ton truck with a flat deck.
All the suspects had their faces covered. Here are their descriptions:
- Suspect 1 is described as approximately 6’0” with a medium build, wearing a royal blue jacket with high visibility stripes, a gray toque, dark colored pants with white stripes down the side, yellow gloves, and has a walking cast/boot on their left foot.
- Suspect 2 is described as approximately 6’0” with a medium build, wearing a black jacket with a hood, a gray baseball hat with a sticker on the inside top brim, dark pants, gray running shoes with white soles.
- Suspect 3 is described as approximately 6’0” slightly taller than the other suspects with a medium build, wearing a black hoodie with white stripes down the arms, gray sweat pants, black shoes, and a black hat.
- Suspect 4 remained in the truck and no current descriptors are available.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Turtleford RCMP, or submit an anonymous tip with Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers. Since this past summer, there have been two ATM thefts in Burstall, and one each in Shaunavon, Eatonia and Prud’Homme, and now Paradise Hill. All of them remain under investigation and the RCMP can’t confirm if any of the incidents are connected.
