RAM raiders have stolen an ATM from the Sleaford filling station on the A325 Farnham Road opposite Country Market.
A JCB 'telehandler' digger was reportedly used to smash a hole in the wall of the Londis convenience store attached to the BP filling station shortly after 3am on Friday (September 21).
The cash machine was ripped from the wall, scattering detritus across the petrol station forecourt.
A solitary police car could be seen at the scene at 9am on Friday and the shop and filling station remained open, although a large section of the forecourt was coned off.
Hampshire Police later confirmed the thieves made off with 'cash drawers' while a telehandler was left at the scene.
Detectives are also investigating a robbery at the One Stop store in Rydal Close, Bordon shortly before 6am on Friday, but are not currently linking the two incidents.
Staff members were threatened before cash was stolen. No serious injuries were reported.
Acting Inspector Philip Shore said: “We understand people will be concerned by these two incidents.
“We take all such reports seriously. Detectives are working hard on both incidents to identify those responsible.
“Neighbourhood officers will also be patrolling for reassurance. If you have a query, please speak to them.
“If you know anything about either of these incidents then please call 101 – any information could prove vital to our investigations.”
It comes less than a month after Halifax bank in West Street, Farnham was devastated in the latest in a string of ram raids to hit the area.
The Herald believes Friday’s raid on the A325 is at least the 36th such ATM theft in west Surrey and east Hampshire since February 2017.
Many of these offences have taken place in close proximity to the A325, including offences in Wrecclesham, Rowledge, Bucks Horn Oak and Lindford.
Anyone with information should call 101, quoting 44180356395 (Sleaford Service Station) or 44180356455 (One Stop).
