Between 3.05pm and 3.30pm on Thursday (18 July 2019), an employee of an automatic teller machine company was installing a new machine inside a service station in Byron Street, Bangalow.
The man returned to his car to collect money to fill the ATM, where he found the front passenger window smashed and one money bag on the seat. The money bag had been inside another black duffle bag that was missing from the vehicle.
