The Caledonia Region RCMP is asking for the public's help to identify three persons of interest following break, enter and theft in Hillsborough, N.B.
Two separate incidents are believed to have occurred minutes apart on February 19, 2024, shortly after 12:45 a.m. at two businesses located on Main street in Hillsborough.
Three individuals forcefully gained entry to both of the businesses and stole an ATM machine from each store, along with alcohol bottles and cigarette cartons. Each ATM machine had approximately $15,000 inside of it.
Police are now releasing surveillance footage photos of the three individuals, in hopes that someone may recognize them.
All suspects were wearing dark clothing, a mask and gloves. One individual was wearing camouflage pants, one was wearing blue jeans, and one had rubber boots on.
