Suspect's white Ford F-350 King Ranch crew cab

An early morning smash and grab has left the Pinantan General Store and community without an ATM.

According to RCMP Const. Jason Epp, a man broke into the store on Harper Road in the early hours of July 5.

"The suspect entered through the front door and utilized a tow rope and pickup truck to forcibly remove the ATM from within the store, causing damage to the front and inside of the store.”

The store’s security cameras were able to capture images of the suspect and the vehicle used in the incident. Epp says it appears the man was by himself and was driving a white Ford F-350 King Ranch crew cab with a white solid-side canopy and no back window.

He is described as wearing:

• a balaclava
• gloves
• black hoodie with logo and writing on the front and sleeves
• jeans
• brown slip-on canvas shoes.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Tk'Emlups rural RCMP at 250-314-1800 or CrimeStoppers.
