When officers arrived, they found the ATM damaged but still intact, and no money was taken. Surveillance footage revealed that one male attempted to pry open the ATM using a crowbar, while another male attached a chain to the tow hitch of a red GMC Sierra pickup truck, which detectives have confirmed was stolen. The driver of the pickup tried to dislodge the ATM by pulling forward, but the chain broke, leading the suspects to flee the scene.
