At about 1.40am this morning, Monday January 24, two people in a white utility drove through the front entrance of a service station on Cawsell Street, Peak Hill.
After gaining entry, the pair allegedly stole cigarettes and an ATM, before they fled the location south on the Newell Highway towards Dubbo.
Officers attached to Central West Police District attended and established a crime scene, which was examined by specialist police.
