Thief attacks money machine at Oak Cliff store with front-end loader

by PegNews wire

Thieves are starting to get extremely creative in the attempts to steal ATM machines. The last incident happened early Tuesday at an Oak Cliff Walgreens when a thief slammed into the drugstore with stolen construction equipment. They fled the scene without the front-end loader. Police are still unsure if the thief was able to access the ATM cash or other store merchaindise.

Hell, the front end loader was probably worth more than whatever was in the cash machine..

Maybe an ATM unit is easier to pawn than a front end loader.
