Woodstock police are searching for an unspecified number of suspects after an ATM was uprooted from an RBC in Springbank Plaza.

At around 3:30 a.m. on Friday, officers responded to a report of a break and enter in progress at the RBC at 218 Springbank Avenue.

Police say the suspects entered the bank and hooked a chain onto an ATM. The suspects then used a flatbed tow truck to pull the ATM off its floor mounts, smashing it through the front doors of the bank.

Police say an investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made at this time.
