BURLINGTON, ON.

Willie Sutton, a full time bank robber was once asked why he robbed banks.  “Because that’s where the money is” he replied.   Two bandits have figured that out and have taken to cracking open ATM machines in what they see as quiet places.

Friday evening, April 4th 2014, at 4:24 AM, a break and enter occurred at Rexall Pharmacy located at 2400 Guelph Line in Burlington.

Two unknown suspects pried open the front doors to the store and then used a large gas cement saw to gain entry into an ATM machine.

The suspects fled the store with an undisclosed amount of cash from the ATM.  The same suspects are believed to be responsible for similar entries in Hamilton, London and Windsor.

 Suspect Descriptions:

 Male, 5’9″ to 5’11”, 160 to 190 lbs, average build wearing a black head covering which concealed his face and neck, plain white long sleeve shirt, black gloves, black pants and white short cut running shoes.

    I’ve heard it’s 17,000 they got. P.S. No such thing as a cement saw, must have been a gas powered concrete saw with carbide blade?
