hieves purloined an ATM from a Bank of America in Oakland in broad daylight, just down street from the city's only In-N-Out, which will soon close its doors amid soaring crime rates.
Video from the scene showed the ATM hitched to a white van with a cable, flying down the street as sparks sprayed from the pavement.
The Bank of America on Hegenberger Road sported a boarded-up window following Sunday morning's break-in. Police said another ATM was stolen about an hour earlier from a nearby business and later recovered.
Anthony Pearson was taken into custody in connection to the bank robbery and charged by the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, police announced. They believe there are additional suspects.
The robbery occurred just down the street from the city's only In-N-Out Burger, which will shut it doors for good on March 24, marking the first time the company had closed a restaurant in its 75-year history.
n a statement Tuesday, Chief Operating Officer Dennick Warnick said the company was left with no alternative due to 'the frequency and severity of the crimes being encountered by our customers and associates.'
'Despite taking repeated steps to create safer conditions, our customers and associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft and armed robberies,' Warnick said.
He noted the location was 'busy and profitable' during its nearly two decades of business, but did not want to encourage employees or patrons to 'visit or work in an unsafe environment.'
The roughly 100 employees affected by the closure will have the option to transfer to a nearby restaurant in San Francisco or receive severance.
There was an increased police presence in area Wednesday as the city pledged to crack down in the crime-plagued area known as the Hegenberger Corridor.

Live it up, all you Obama and Biden voters in Oakland.
Dystopia.
were the cops entertained by all the sparks as they watched it go by?
“Bank desert”
Caused by white supremacy and structural endemic unconsious racism. BIPOC, LGBTQWTF, people of color, women and children, tranny intersectional sex worker marginalized dwarves hardest hit.
Did I leave anyone out?
Dey gwine be surprised— if they can even break into the machine— the money will be completely dyed and useless. New tech in ATMS includes flourescent dyes as well. Used in bags of money demanded by bank robbers with explosive packs in then money wraps. ATM also has sat trackers, just like pharmaceutical stock bottles held in pharmacies— esp for Schedule agents I,II, and III Controlled Substances.
This would not happen if we’d spend trillion$ on welfare...oh wait
I live on the northwest side of San Antonio in a pretty nice area. We’ve had gangs of thugs driving through the neighborhoods at 2-3am looking for unlocked cars and stealing stuff. New twist last weekend: several Ring cameras caught them doing it again, but now there’s a lookout with a drawn weapon behind the vehicles.
In Texas, you can use deadly force to protect your personal property. Wouldn’t surprise me if there were some new holes in these “kids” in the not too distant future.

This is something worse than the Wild West. It least in the Wild West the sheriff would round up an armed posse, and hunt the varmints down. Then might come a necktie party. After a fair trial, of course.

I’ve having a hard time caring about Bank of America.
They are the biggest funders of BLM and other such causes.
They are the first, and most willing, to cooperate with the Biden DOJ.
It be repar-a-tuns.
Think I saw a “Just Married” sign
This is incredible. Actually two ATMs were dragged away about an hour apart. Last year Bank of American disarmed their guards, so they likely stood there watching. The police, nowhere to be found. This is California today.
Oakland is now an open city!
All national chaos compliments of your Obama-Biden team and devised to furnish maximum destruction of a nation. Special thanks to the clueless woke Americans who voted for these haters of the staggering republic.
We’ve still got one year to go, soo, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
