Surveillance cameras have captured a dramatic scene where thieves used a ute to smash through the entrance of a shopping center, making off with an ATM in the early hours.
This brazen act took place at a shopping mall in Baldivis, located south of Perth, on March 19.
The CCTV footage reveals a blue Nissan ute reversing through the center’s glass doors into an empty corridor around 2 a.m.
The vehicle continues to back up, colliding with an ATM and knocking it to the floor.
Two masked individuals are seen entering the premises through the shattered doors, heading to the rear of the ute.
Meanwhile, another accomplice remains seated in the driver’s seat of the ute.
The vehicle is then seen driving out of the shopping centre with a chain attached to the ATM, dragging it along behind the ute.
Police found the vehicle burnt out three days later, on March 21.
It was located in East Rockingham, about a 15 minute drive from the shopping centre on Amazon Drive where the incident took place.
Detectives are now calling on anyone with any further CCTV, dash-cam, or mobile phone vision of the vehicle or other information relating to the incident to come forward.
