Two men steal car wash pay machine in Adelaide by ramming it with car

Two men have been caught stealing a car wash pay machine in Adelaide by ramming it with a car.

The theft happened about 7.30am on Wednesday, November 25, when two men drove into a service station on North East Road at Windsor Gardens and tried to remove the machine using a drill.

Their first attempt was unsuccessful so they used a white Peugeot 206 sedan with fake number plates and rammed the machine until it became dislodged, South Australia police said.

The suspects are described as being of Caucasian appearance.
