A suspect in Tuesday morning’s break-in at South Hill Fine Foods attempts to steal an ATM machine.
For the second time in less than a month, South Hill Fine Foods has been the target of a major break-in attempt.

On the morning of Tuesday, Mar. 2 at approximately 5:15 a.m., suspects driving what is believed to be a Ford Escape used the vehicle to breach the doors of the local grocery store and once inside attempted to remove a cash machine from the premises.

Video posted on Facebook by store general manager Perry Chambers showed an individual with a DKNY jacket carrying tie down straps enter the building and approach the ATM before suddenly running to the vehicle and making the escape.

The reason? The business alarm had been triggered and staff were on site and seen approaching the doors as the vehicle sped away.

You can see the whole thing go down in the videos below.

It marks the third intrusion on the business in just over a year.

In early January 2020, hackers breached the store's computer systems and caused enough damage to leave South Hill Fine Foods closed for a week. Then, on Feb. 5 of this year, thieves attempted a similar break-in but were unable to remove the machines and ran with nothing for their efforts.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or the Moose Jaw Police Service at 306-694-7600.
