The vehicle is described as a late-model grey four-door Dodge RAM 1500 with running boards, factory rims, split dual exhaust, trailer hitch and a large scrape on the passenger-side front door.

Both suspects are male and one was wearing brown work overalls and red gloves and the other grey work overalls and white and black gloves.

"This incident occurred along 15th Avenue, a major thoroughfare in our community," RCMP said. "Many vehicles drove by while the suspects backed the vehicle up to the door, smashed the glass door and loaded the ATM into the truck after business hours."
