Thieves went through the roof to steal an ATM in Gasoline Alley earlier this month.

Blackfalds RCMP said that after they responded to a break and enter complaint on Oct. 14 at 4 a.m. at the Shell gas station, they found that two thieves had cut a hole in the roof.

The culprits then climbed down a tow rope to get inside the gas station store where they stole the ATM. They used a sledge hammer and crowbar to access the money machine, which was found just west of the gas station.

Anyone with information can contact Blackfalds RCMP (403) 885-3300 or Crime Stoppers (800) 222-8477.
