Truck Rams Storefront in Attempted ATM Theft ///
Whitecourt, Alberta– On Feb 1st, 2017, shortly after 4 a.m., a black Ford F150 pickup truck rammed the storefront of a business in the 3700 block of Kepler street in Whitecourt, Alberta. The truck drove into the commercial storefront and drove back and forth inside the store several times. Much of the storefront was obliterated in this attack.
The truck tried to ram an automated teller machine and was not successful. The truck and its occupants left the scene without actually stealing anything.
Two adult males, both gloved and masked, were involved in this break & enter.
The truck was recovered later the same morning and had been torched. It is believed the truck was stolen but verification of the truck’s ownership is pending.
