“While no funds were attained, the machine is destroyed. No one was harmed in the incident. SASCU Credit Union officials are assisting the RCMP with the investigation.”

SASCU states it “anticipates an extended period before a replacement ATM can be installed at this location.” Alternative SASCU ATMs are available at Salmon Arm Uptown and Downtown branches, the Mall at Piccadilly, and the uptown Tim Hortons.
