Police Search For Safe-Cracking Crook After Hefty ATM Haul In Vernon

The Canadian Press, 29 Sep, 2015 01:18 PM

VERNON, B.C. — Mounties in Vernon, B.C., aren't sure if they are dealing with a professional safe cracker or a really lucky thief.

Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy says someone broke into the drive-thru automated teller kiosk at the Interior Savings Credit Union last Thursday night.

She says the suspect somehow managed to open the safe.

He made off with more than $52,000.

Investigators say the ATM building is located near a busy intersection in the north Okanagan city.

Noseworthy hopes someone saw something suspicious at about 10 p.m. on Sept. 24, and can lead police to the culprit. (CICF)
