FRANKLIN COUNTY, Mo. — Thieves used a stolen pickup truck early Monday morning to rip open an ATM at a bank in Washington, Missouri.
The Washington Police Department said it received an alarm call at 3:39 a.m. at the Bank of Franklin County, located at 900 East 8th St. Officers arrived two minutes later and found the ATM broken into.
An 1999 Chevrolet Silverado reported stolen out of Washington was found parked and running nearby on 8th Street. The lights were on, and a "heavy-duty chain" was attached to the hitch, police said.
Police checked the area for the thieves, who were last seen running East on 8th Street. They made off with an undetermined amount of cash.
On Wednesday afternoon, Washington police gave an update to the case on Facebook. The update said that four suspects had been identified and nearly all of the money that had been stolen was recovered.
Police said more information will be released once charges are issued in the case.
