Appeal after attempted ram raid in Glenorie

Police are appealing for information following an attempted ram raid in Sydney’s north west last month.

About 11.30pm on Sunday, 30 January 2022, officers attached to The Hills Police Area Command were called to a shopping centre on Old Northern Road, Glenorie, following reports of an attempted robbery of an ATM outside the shopping complex.

Police have been told a white Toyota Hilux drove to the location before the three occupants attempted to dislodge the machine.

Following a number of unsuccessful attempts, the three unknown people drove from the scene.

About 12.30am on Monday, 31 January 2022, emergency services were called to a vehicle fire on McClymont Road, Kenthurst.

Fire and Rescue NSW officers extinguished the blaze a short time later; however, the vehicle – a Toyota Hilux – was destroyed.

Initial inquiries have led police to believe the vehicle was stolen.

As police continue their investigations into the incidents – which are believed to be linked – they are appealing for anyone with information or who has dashcam footage to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
