A crime scene has been established at a bowling club in Paxton following a ram raid overnight.

About 2.15am (Tuesday 20 November, 2012) a stolen white Nissan Navara was driven through the rear entrance of the Clift Street club, gaining access.

The three occupants of the vehicle where seen on CCTV to get out of the utility and start loading up an ATM that was inside.

The three men got back into the vehicle and drove from the club with the ATM on the back.

The vehicle they were driving was confirmed stolen from an address in Singleton over the weekend.

The registration number is JB-2537.

No one was inside the club at the time.

Significant structural damage has been caused to the exterior walls of the club.
