The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s are investigating a crash involving a stolen ATM.

Just before 5:00 am, deputies responded to a crash located in the 4800 block of Okeechobee Blvd, WPB. Upon arrival, deputies were advised that a truck was dragging an ATM northbound on Haverhill Road. Deputies located a Ford Truck F250 on Haverhill Road just south of Century Blvd with an ATM Laying in the road approximately 10 feet in front of it. A second location, at Bank United, a box truck located crashed into the Bank United sign. It appears suspects used the box truck to strike the “free standing ATM” the dragged the ATM behind the F250 onto Northbound Haverhill Road. At some point it appears the ATM got in front of the F250 and the F250 front bumper struck the ATM causing airbags to deploy. The suspects fled upon impact and are still at large.

Both the F250 and box truck were reported stolen.
