ATM ROBBERY FAIL

Would-be burglars damaged a CVS Pharmacy in the 10,000 block of Marsh Lane on July 31, when they rammed a white van into the store’s front doors. Police think the suspects were trying to rob the store’s ATM just before 5 a.m. Surveillance video of the crime shows the van backing into the store’s glass doors, which are a few feet from the ATM. The van backs slowly into the doors, breaking out glass, but the doors don’t open. Ultimately, the suspects were unable to enter the store or take the ATM, but they caused “significant damage to the structure” of the building, according to the Dallas Police Department. ATM theft is an increasingly common crime in Dallas. About 50 have occurred this year, and driving a vehicle through the glass front doors of a business to nab one is a fairly common modus operandi.
