Police are hunting thieves who broke into a business and "ripped" a bolted-down cash machine from the ground.
The cash dispenser was taken from a building on logistics firm Neovia's large complex in Peckleton Lane, Desford on Sunday night.
Workers arrived at the firm yesterday to find the machine, which reportedly contained £13,000, had been ripped from the ground and placed into a get-away vehicle.
Police do not believe the theft was carried out by a gang which has used stolen diggers to rip four cash machines from the walls of village Co-Op stores across Leicestershire in recent weeks.
Police have not revealed how the thieves, believed to be two men, pulled the Neovia machine, which was there for use by staff, from its mooring.
A Neovia worker, who asked not to be named, said: "Whoever did this just ripped the machine clean out from the floor. It was bolted in and had about £13,000 in it.
"How they have managed to do this on a secure site like ours I have no idea.
"We all turned up for work on Monday morning and saw that something had happened.
"We weren't allowed into the staff canteen to get our usual coffee so, of course we wanted to know what was going on."
A Leicestershire Police spokeswoman said: "Police are investigating a report of a theft from a premises in Peckleton Lane, Desford.
"The incident happened between 8.50pm and 9.15pm on Sunday, November 30 when a cashpoint was stolen from the premises.
"This incident is not being linked to the other cashpoint thefts in Leicestershire. Inquiries into the incident are ongoing.
The company, which has bases across the world, declined to comment.
Police are still investigating the series of raids on Co-Op stores in Sapcote, Newbold Verdon, Asfordby and Whetstone.
They have urged people to contact the force if they see diggers or similar vehicles on the road in the early hours.
Last month, the force released footage of the most recent raid on the Sapcote Co-op, in Leicester Road, shows the stolen digger being driven at the shop-front twice.
On the second attempt, its blades sliced through the brickwork and lifted out the cash machine.
Footage from inside an office in the shop shows the machine disappearing through a hole in the wall.
The raiders then loaded the machine into a vehicle, a Toyota Hi-Lux, and drove off.
The shop is owned by the Heart of England Co-op, while the three previous targets belong to the Central England Co-op.
Stolen JCB vehicles were used in the first three attacks, while a different brand digger was used in Sapcote.
