Attempt ATM Theft

At about ten minutes to three this morning MRPD officers responded to the 7-11 on Chillum Road for an attempted theft. Once on the scene the officers learned that a vehicle, possibly a Ford F350, intentionally backed into the storefront three times hitting the store’s ATM machine. Two individuals got out of the truck and attempted to steal the ATM machine without success. The two got back into the truck and fled the scene making good their escape. PGPD detectives responded to conduct a follow-up investigation. PG fire investigators also responded and determined that, due to extensive structural damage to the store, it had to be closed until further notice. Additionally, officers learned that about 30 minutes prior to this incident DC police responded to a similar incident in their jurisdiction. Anyone having information about the individuals involved is asked to call MRPD at 301-985-6580.
