Unknown suspects broke into the ARCO Service Station at Highway 101 and Vierra Canyon in Prunedale. They attempted to remove the ATM machine by hooking it up to a Ford van with the company U-Haul logo on the van. The suspects were unsuccessful in removing the ATM.
Monterey County Sheriffs investigators believe they damaged the right rear portion of the bumper while attempting to remove the ATM. The van was last seen heading north on Highway 101. The suspects were gloved and masked. From the video surveillance there appeared to be three suspects.
A BOL was placed to all surrounding agencies. The case remains under investigation.
