A security video shows daring thieves attempting to steal an ATM by dragging it through the front of a Texas convenience store during the early hours of Christmas Eve.
Surveillance footage from inside the store captures the moment suspects, using a vehicle, pull the heavy cash machine toward the exit in a brazen grab. The footage shows the device being torn from its mounting before the suspects try to drive off with it.
Local law enforcement responded to reports of the theft attempt shortly after the incident was discovered. Officers are reviewing the recorded footage as part of their investigation, which remains active as authorities work to identify and locate the individuals involved.
No injuries were reported, and store staff were unharmed during the incident. The convenience store sustained significant property damage as a result of the attempted removal of the ATM.
Police have appealed to the public for any information that might help in identifying the suspects or the vehicle seen in the video. The investigation is ongoing, and further details have not yet been released.
