Police are investigating a theft of an automatic teller machine from Sav-A-Step on the 9200 block of U.S. 150 in Greenville.
Officers were dispatched to the scene at 3:14 a.m. Wednesday.
Two males drove a Chevrolet pickup truck through the front of the store and struck the ATM, Floyd County Detective Jeff Firkins said.
“They circled the parking lot one time, put it in reverse and backed into the front of the building,” he said.
The ATM was chained to the floor, he said, but the truck’s impact knocked it loose. The men loaded it on the back of the truck and drove off.
Police say a passing motorist saw the truck crash into the store and called dispatch. He saw the dark blue and silver early- or mid-’90s Chevrolet pickup leaving the store and traveling eastbound on U.S. 150 at a high rate of speed. There is a silver stripe across the back of the truck with “CHEVROLET” spelled out across the back. The license plate had been removed.
One man, the driver, could be seen on video surveillance with a dark shirt or jacket with a hood and blue jeans. He is described as a young white male. There is no description of the other suspect.
“It was something we saw a lot of a couple years ago, but we haven’t seen a lot of it recently,” Firkins said of ATM thefts.
The most recent one was in January 2008 at the Great Escape movie theater. Four men were charged in that case.
Anyone with information about this burglary is asked to call the Floyd County Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at 812-948-5407.
