Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying two people who broke into a closed store and yanked an ATM out of the wall. The incident was reported around 3 a.m. Saturday at the Spring Hill store at the corner of State Highway 102 and State Highway 9, just east of the town of Pink. Sheriff Mike Booth released video of the people in hopes that someone recognizes their clothing and mannerisms. The full video can be watched below. “We had someone hook a chain on their ATM inside the store to a vehicle outside and pulled it through the wall,” Booth said. The ATM can be seen flying across the room and in seconds the pickup truck pulls away. “They had probably been in the store before,” he said. A similar crime happened about three months ago in a Macomb store, Booth said. But there was no video evidence or witnesses in that crime. He thinks the two incidents may be connected. This time, the suspects took off with about $1,400 but left a lot more in damages to the store he said. Both stores are in rural areas, which make it easier for crooks to hide under the cover of darkness. A witness spotted the truck, which is described as possibly tan- or gold-colored with a long or extended cab, and cab lights on it. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call the Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office.
