On January 4, 2024 at approximately 6:40 a.m., Turtleford RCMP responded to a report of a break and enter and theft of an ATM from a business in Paradise Hill, Saskatchewan.

The suspects fled the scene in the second vehicle travelling westbound on Highway #3. The ATM was later recovered empty near Kitscoty, Alberta.
