Texas police arrest 8 people for alleged involvement in smash-and-grab operation of over 50 ATMs

Texas police arrested eight individuals last week for allegedly burglarizing more than 50 automated teller machines (ATM) in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

The Plano Police Department said investigators and members of SWAT arrested eight suspects as they were stealing an ATM from a 7-Eleven on Fort Worth Drive in Denton, Texas at about 6 a.m. on June 1.

Prior to the arrests, detectives with the Plano Police Department received information about an ATM burglary that happened on 14th Street in Plano just before 6:30 a.m. on May 25.

During the burglary, five suspects backed a pickup truck into the front of the store, smashing out the window.

The suspects then wrapped a chain around the machine and pulled the ATM out of the convenience store, while the clerk stood behind the counter.

Police said the suspects got away with an unknown amount of cash, though the damage to the building was expected to cost the business thousands of dollars to repair.

The suspects fled the scene in a pickup truck that was discovered to have been stolen out of Garland, Texas, and later found abandoned at a nearby apartment development.

Investigators developed several leads from the burglary on May 25, including the identification of several suspected vehicles and determining the methods used to steal the ATMs.

“Good money”

The gang is really just a crew of contractors , smashing out the walls of stores and cashing in on the repair .
That’s where the $$ is

Watched a tech fill an ATM at a bar, the foot-high stack of twenties was...notable.

1 inch stack of bills = 233 bills

233 x 12 inches = 2,796

2,796 x $20 = $55,920

ATM manufacturers are long overdue to include bank dye packs into the machines.

Gee, what were the odds that they would be a bunch of dead eyed blacks.
If they put half of the effort to be productive citizens instead of bottom feeders, just think where they would be in life.
But thier “culture” considers that to be the pussy way of doing things, after all being a worthless peacock takes money.

This happened twice to a friend of ours who owns a small convenience store except the thieves held the clerk at gunpoint.

After the second time he didn’t replace the machine.
