A CASH machine was dragged out of the wall of a petrol station on the A64 at Bilbrough.
It is thought a four-by-four or JCB vehicle could have been used to remove the machine at the Jet service station.
North Yorkshire Police are seeking witnesses to the incident, thought to have happened between 7pm last night early and this morning.
It is not known how much cash the machine contained but it is believed to be thousands of pounds.
A Jet spokesman said it was impossible to tell how much money had been in the machine.
He said that detectives were out at the scene investigating and trying to check what the amount was.
Anyone with information should contact police on 01904 669884.
