Police in Townsville are appealing for information to locate an offender in relation to a stolen vehicle which was later used in a break and enter and an attempted ATM theft from an Ingham Road service station.

The vehicle is a 1997 white Holden Rodeo Ute and has ‘NQ Springs’ written on one side.

Detective Senior Sergeant Chris Hicks said that the vehicle was stolen from an Ingham Road business on the evening of Tuesday May 12.

“A short time after the vehicle was used in a break and enter and attempted ATM theft.

“The only problem for the offender was that he had not realised that his chain wasn’t attached and when he attempted to drive off he left the ATM behind.

“Anyone with any information about the vehicle or the male should contact Crime Stoppers,” Detective Senior Sergeant Hicks said.
