On Feb. 20, the Mercantile at Muirfield near Lyalta in Wheatland County was broken into by individuals who had driven a truck through the building causing substantial damage to the store, estimated at $20,000, and severely damaged a rental truck.

The stores’ ATM was stolen after the suspects drove through the front of the store.

The smashed ATM was recovered a short time later.
