Suspects sought after ATM dragged from Dauphin business

RCMP are searching for two suspects who used a stolen utility task vehicle to steal an ATM from a Dauphin business early on Monday morning.

Mounties responded to an alarm at the business on the 1400 block of Dauphin’s Main Street just before 5 a.m., where they learned two individuals had driven up to the business in the UTV and smashed a window.

The suspects pried open the business’s door with a strap connected to the vehicle, then hooked the strap to an ATM inside and dragged it out before leaving the scene.

Mounties say the UTV, a 2012 Kubota RTV 900XT with Alberta licence plate UTZ62, had been stolen the night before from another business in Dauphin.

RCMP are trying to find the vehicle and identify the two suspects.

One suspect was wearing a black sweater with a hood and a white Reebok triangle logo on its front, as well as a dark-coloured mask and gloves. The other was wearing an ATV helmet with a full-face cover and with what looks like a “V” or “VH” written on the side.

RCMP ask anyone who can identify the suspects or provide information about the thefts to call the Dauphin detachment at 204-622-5020 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
