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.

“California Love” set in a funky post-apocalyptic Oakland...
When his older partner in crime fails to open a safe, Caine chisels it out of the wall and drags it hundreds of yards to the getaway car.
Unhappy ending. Caine gets the girl, but he is killed in the end.
Caine will be 91 in March and is still making movies.
He is the classic anti-Hero for those of us who grew up in the 1960s.
