The Marion County Sheriff's Office has asked the public's help in finding a pickup truck and driver involved in a smash-and-grab theft north of Salem.

Deputies believe a black Ford F150 twice intentionally rammed into the side of the Star Market at 9005 River Road Northeast around 3 a.m. Sunday. The driver left with the store's ATM, deputies said. The business, located west of Interstate 5 on Brooklake Road, was left with a large, truck-size hole, deputies said in a news release.

Investigators believe the truck, which should have rear-end damage, is a 2004 to 2006 model with a leveling kit, running boards, black fender flares and black rims.

Later, a man entered the business and stole several packs of cigarettes, deputies said. Investigators don't know if the two thefts are connected.

Anyone with information is asked to call Deputy Garrett Olson at 503-983-5033.
