It was later found abandoned in a stolen van
An ATM was stolen during a ram raid at a Lincolnshire Co-op food store in Scotter before it was later found abandoned in another nearby village.
Lincolnshire Police were called to the Lincolnshire Co-op Foodstore on High Street in Scotter at 2.34am on Monday, April 8.
An ATM was stolen and it is believed a silver Ford Transit van and a telehandler were used.
This caused significant damage to the premises. A digger was left behind at the scene.
The van, with the ATM still inside, was found abandoned just over an hour later in Burringham. No-one has been arrested, police said.
We’ve disrupted offenders making off from a ram-raid ATM theft in Scotter this morning.
The stolen van used, was seized in Burringham with the cash machine still inside.
