RAMRAIDERS smashed their way into a Wilkinson's store in Mansfield town centre in the early hours of today.
A white 4x4 was used to break through the front of the shop in Clumber Street at around 4am.
Three masked men inside then stole a cash machine before making off.
They left the cash machine around 50ft from the store.
Police said the men headed in the direction of Toot Hill Lane.
The 4x4 was later found abandoned in nearby James Murray Mews.
One suspect was white, 5ft 7in, and wore a bandana over his face, a baseball cap and a dark puffa jacket.
Another wore dark clothes, while there is no description of the third man.
DI Dave Marsh, of Mansfield CID, said: "This is the sort of brazen act that causes a great deal of damage and disruption not only for the business but the town centre and the people who use it."
Anyone with information should call Mansfield CID on 01623 483900 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
