Burglar Crashes Truck Through Window to Steal ATM in Yakima
And, remarkably, he got away...but without his money!
The Baskin Robbins in Yakima was hit, literally, by a robber who blasted out the front window of the store with a truck, then stole the ATM inside! Yakima police say around 2:30am the incident resulted in the burglar getting away with the ATM, the money and the vehicle.
However, due to the pursuit of a K-9 unit, the suspect left behind the ATM, which was apparently in the back of the getaway truck. The thief had enough time to get at the money, but not enough to take it with him.
Police are still seeking the suspect, who after all that work, didn't really succeed in Baskin "Robbing" the store.
According to KNDU-KNDO-TV, other business owners in the area on West Knob Hill Boulevard say incidents like this have happened rather frequently over the years.
