— Police are asking business owners in southwestern Ontario to evaluate the benefits of having an ATM following numerous thefts of the machines from gas stations, restaurants and convenience stores. OPP are encouraging business owners with an ATM to report any suspicious activity. But police aren’t telling business owners not to have ATMs and are providing them with information to help prevent thefts, he said. Police also are asking owners of pickup trucks and SUVs to ensure their vehicles are locked at all times and the keys aren’t left inside. “A lot of the pickup trucks that we’re dealing with (in the ATM thefts) are stolen, keys left in them, and it’s just a big recipe for disaster,” Rektor said.
