ASP Stacy Smith, Staff Officer
"On Thursday 23rd July, investigators were called out to the Atlantic Bank Ladyville branch as there was indication that a burglary occurred. A review, however, of the building showed that nothing of significance was taken, and the Scenes of Crime technicians were able to process the scene and leave a number of prints and the hope is that we would be able to ascertain exactly what occurred."
Reporter:
"Was there any damaged property?"
ASP Stacy Smith:
"Yes, yes, the building was damaged, um, resulted in them gaining entry, but certainly I won't disclose how they did that."
Jaleeza Roberts:
"Would you at least be able to say, was it the ATM they were going for?"
ASP Stacy Smith:
"I believe, um, the ATM was damaged, but I believe entry was made in the building, so the ATM damage was, I believe, from inside the building."
This is the second recent report of an attempted ATM theft.
