MIAMI - CCTV video shows someone using a stolen front end loader and a stolen pickup truck to steal an ATM from a Miami bank last month, according to Miami-Dade police.
The theft occurred just before 5 a.m. March 18 at a bank at 24701 S. Dixie Highway.
Police said someone used the construction machine to remove the ATM and hauled it away with the pickup truck. Only scarred asphalt and broken cement were left behind.
The CCTV video shows it took several tries before the thieves got the ATM loaded onto the back of the white pickup truck.
Investigators have found the front end loader which was stolen from a construction site a few blocks away and the stolen truck and the ATM was found in a field some two miles away from the bank – it had been severely damaged by the thieves who took it and tried to take cash from it.
No arrests have been made. Police said they hope releasing the surveillance video will generate some leads in the case.
Police say bank such bank ATMs usually have anywhere from $60,000 to $100,000 in them – along with tracking devices.
