Police are searching for four suspects who allegedly broke into a mall with a backhoe loader and stole an ATM in Pickering on Tuesday.

Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) said they were called to the Shops at Pickering Centre on Kingston Road, at around 3:45 a.m. after an alarm went off at the TD Bank at the mall.

As soon as they got inside, police allege they destroyed on ATM then stole a second one before driving away from the mall in a white Dodge Ram pick-up truck.
