On Wednesday, April 25, 2012, just after 5:00 am, deputies responded to an alarm call at the Sunoco Gas Station located at 1009 N. State Road 7, Royal Palm Beach.  Upon arrival, they observed the front window shattered with what appeared to be a vehicle.  Further investigation determined extensive damage inside the business and the ATM machine missing.

A short time later, road patrol deputies were advised that a vehicle matching the description of the vehicle used in the burglary was driving in a wooded area near Sansbury Way and Okeechobee Blvd.  When deputies arrived they found the vehicle partially submerged in a retention pond and the suspects gone.  A perimeter was immediately set up.  The entire wooded area and the areas surrounding were searched with negative results. 

We believe three suspects were involved.  They were masked and wearing dark clothing.
