Pickup truck no match for sturdy Langton ATM

Thieves attempting to steal an ATM from inside a business southeast of Tillsonburg were forced to leave empty handed.

Norfolk OPP say the attempted theft happened at an Albert Street East business in Langton around 2 a.m. on Tuesday. Thieves allegedly tried to pull the money machine from a vestibule using a chain and a pickup truck.

When the attempt failed to totally free the ATM, the thieves took off in a dark-coloured pickup.

No money was stolen, however, damage to the ATM was extensive, police said.

Police are looking for three suspects who were wearing hooded sweatshirts.
