Burglars haul off ATM from Hoke store


print friendly

Hoke County authorities are searching for three men who used a pickup to tear the door off a convenience store late Wednesday and haul away an automated teller machine inside.

Security cameras at the Zip-N-mart No. 2, at Arabia and Gold Course roads, showed the masked men, who wore long-sleeve shirts and gloves, backing the pickup up to the front door, attaching a chain to the door and the truck and using the truck to pull the door open, authorities said. The men then loaded the ATM into the truck and drove off toward the Rockfish community.

The truck is described as a dark-color, extended-cab pickup with dual rear wheels and silver coloring along the bottom. It had a silver tool box in the truck bed, an oval sticker in the upper right corner of the rear window, amber clearance lights on top and a long, whip-style antenna.

NICE!!!

Barber shop.. this is too funny

I have to agree that I think they'll be caught quickly.....

Must be one of those small ones. If you put the big honking machines, it becomes near impossible to haul them away. I used to work on them. On the big ones, the safe door that you access in the back is 1 inch think hardened steel and it goes around five hundred pounds just on that door.

Sounds like they had this planned out, but I'm sure they will be caught in due time....
