Det Insp Dafydd Jones of West Mercia Police said the thieves had used "a variety of equipment" to access the machine, before setting it alight and driving away.
"Crimes like these damage local businesses and have a real knock-on effect on the community," he said.
"We're urging anybody who saw or heard something suspicious to please come forward and assist our investigation."
