Durham Police yesterday said two females are in custody after attempting to steal an ATM machine in Oshawa.
The suspects used a pick-up truck to pull the ATM machine from the ground.
On Monday, October 7 at about 1 am, members of Central West Division responded to a call for two suspicious vehicles in the area of Winchester Road East and Simcoe Street North.
When officers arrived, they located a van and a pick-up truck, in the parking lot. The pick-up truck fled upon police arrival, and the van remained. Officers followed the pick-up truck, which was dragging an ATM, into a nearby cornfield. The female suspect then fled on foot, and was arrested after a brief foot pursuit.
Upon further investigation, it was determined that the van had been reported stolen. A female in the van was also arrested, police said.
One suspect, age 30, of Clarington is facing five charges, and was held for a bail hearing.
The second suspect, age 33, of Whitby is facing six charges, and was released on an undertaking. Names and further details available at www.drps.ca.
