SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - An investigation is underway after, police said, thieves attempted to steal an ATM machine outside a bank in Southwest Miami-Dade.
According to Miami-Dade Police, the call came in around 3 a.m. Thursday after two individuals in a white truck attempted to dismantle the machine using crowbars and bolt cutters.
Police could be seen at the Chase branch at 12610 S.W. 120th St., at around 10 a.m., while crews cleaned up the damage.
While the bank’s interior remained accessible to customers, drive-up services were unavailable as the area where the ATM sustained damage during the robbery was cordoned off with yellow tape.
It is currently unconfirmed whether any money or property was taken.
Authorities have not made any arrests in connection with this incident.
Neighbors in the area were in disbelief.
“This used to be a very, very nice neighborhood, and lately you see things like that,” said a resident. “So they stole the ATM? Wow.”
“So absurd,” Maria Kell said. “People doing things that before, no, but nowadays, expect anything.”
If you have any information on this crime, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.
