Thieves ran the back of their apparently stolen truck into an ATM at the Bank of America located on 12221 Artesia this past Saturday and got away with $319,000. They also inflicted $65,000 worth of damage on the ATM.   

A memo obtained by HMG released by the sheriffs read:

“On Saturday, July 18 at approximately 5 AM Cerritos deputies responded to the Bank of America located on Artesia Boulevard regarding a burglary just occurred call. A preliminary investigation revealed that a blue Dodge Ram truck approached the  drive-up ATM machines at the location. The driver of the truck  accelerated and backed into the ATM furthest away from the building. As a result of the force of the collision the ATM was partially dislodged from the concrete base.”

“The other suspects inside the Dodge truck then exited and used pry bar to separate the face plate from the ATM. The drawers inside the machine that contain cash were then taken from the machine. The suspects then returned to the Dodge truck and the truck left the location. Video surveillance at the location depicted at least three male suspects. No witnesses were located at the location.”

The Dodge truck was located, with the engine running and doors open, in the parking lot of the Shell gas station located on 12198 Park Street. No suspects or witnesses were located at that location.
