The small coastal town of Holyrood, Newfoundland and Labrador, was rocked by a bank heist in the wee hours of Dec. 16—as robbers used a backhoe to smash a Royal Bank and grab an ATM.
A report of a commercial break-in at an RBC branch was received by Holyrood RCMP at around 3:45 am on Dec. 16. Officers arrived shortly thereafter and saw the bank was “heavily damaged by a backhoe” that was abandoned at the scene, an RCMP press release stated.
