Vermont State Police say they are looking for the people responsible for stealing a town highway department front-end loader and then using it to steal an ATM machine from a local bank early Wednesday morning.
State police said they were notified of an alarm at the Union Bank on Ramsey Road in the town of Fairfax shortly after 3 a.m. Wednesday. Troopers responded to the scene and saw that the bank's outdoor ATM had been removed forcibly by a piece of heavy machinery. They were ultimately able to locate the ATM, along with a front-end loader, just down the road from the bank on Route 128.
The front-end loader belonged to the Fairfax Town Highway Department, and when state police notified them they learned that the front-end loader and a white pickup truck were stolen from the town garage sometime before the ATM theft. The white pickup truck was later located on Swamp Road near WIlkins Brook.
