Atlanta police release video in search for ATM thieves

Atlanta police released a video Monday that they hope will help them catch a group of ATM thieves.

The surveillance video shows six men breaking into a Family Dollar store in the 2700 block of Lakewood Avenue last Tuesday.

The suspects forced the door open just after 5 a.m., then took turns trying to dislodge the ATM at the front of the store. They successfully removed the machine and carried it out.

The group left the scene in a blue Chrysler van headed toward Metropolitan Parkway, according to the incident report.

Anyone with information on the case should contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477.
