DETECTIVES have recovered the vehicle they believe was used in the attempted theft of an ATM in Grace Bay.

Three masked men entered the car park of the IGA Gourmet at 2.40am on Wednesday in a white van, which they used to smash a large window in the foyer.

The culprits, who were all dressed in black, then tried to drag the International Bank ATM out of the supermarket with a metal chain tied to the bumper.

They were unsuccessful in their bid and escaped empty-handed, however the registration plate from the vehicle was left at the scene.

Investigations revealed the van, a white Chevy, belonged to the Seven Stars Resort and was stolen from the complex shortly before the attempted theft.

Police officers on patrol later discovered a white Chevy van with smashed rear windshields and a chain tied to the bumper, abandoned in the Long Bay area.

Witnesses to the incident are still being sought and anyone with information is asked to call 911 or Crimestoppers on 1-800-8477
