The Seattle Police Department (SPD) is looking for suspects after two ATMs were ripped out of a credit union in the Wallingford neighborhood with a forklift.

The two ATMs were stolen from a Boeing Employees Credit Union at approximately 3 a.m. on Stone Way North and 44th in Wallingford, according to SPD Detective Brian Pritchard.

“Officers arrived, and they actually saw the forklift and three or four suspects,” Pritchard told 成人X站 Newsradio. “Suspects then immediately jumped in three different separate vehicles.”

The ATMs were placed into SUVs with a front loader, but as the suspects attempted their escape from the police, one of the ATMs fell out of the vehicle into the street. The suspects scattered in three separate directions, according to SPD.

“One ATM they were able to actually get away with,” Pritchard added. “The second ATM, they actually dropped and didn’t have time to take.”

Using an SPD vehicle, officers were able to drag the left-behind ATM back to the Wallingford credit union.
