Surveillance Video Captures Thieves Taking ATM From West Town Store
CHICAGO (CBS)-- Surveillance video captured thieves taking an ATM machine from a smoke shop on Division Street in West Town.
The thieves left behind damage to the smoke shop "Smoke Times," including shattered glass on the ground.
The thieves broke in and immediately went to the back of the store.
The three men wearing masks and gloves are seen on surveillance first stealing some small items on the shelf and then they went for the 200-pound ATM. Then two of the men walk out with the machine while a third man went back to the shelf to steal more products.
In the video, the moment the offenders shattered the glass is captured.
The owner of the shop does not want to be identified, but told CBS 2 this is the third time his store has been burglarized.
"They broke the window and they took ATM machine and $800 to $1,000 for my stuff," the owner said. "I'm very nervous. Right now, I'm shivering."
Police are now searching for the three men involved in this burglary.
