Two suspects are on the run after stealing an ATM from a Gallery Furniture store in north Houston Tuesday morning.

The pair broke into the store off of the North Freeway just before 5 a.m. They pried open a back door and started sawing on an ATM inside of the store, said Lt. Larry Crowson with the Houston Police Department.

The overnight cleaning crew heard the sawing. They found the suspects at the ATM.

When the suspects spotted the employees, they grabbed the ATM and pulled it out of the door, Crowson said. Police believe the suspects threw the ATM over the fence surrounding the Gallery Furniture and into a truck. Then, they fled the scene.

The store's employees were not injured.
