SAPD searching for suspects after burglary of ATM in Stone Oak

Incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. near Stone Oak Parkway and Evans Road

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are searching for suspects following the destruction and burglary of an ATM early Tuesday morning.

The burglary happened around 4:30 a.m. at a Chase Bank location near Stone Oak Parkway and Evans Road, on the city’s far North Side.

According to police, officers received a call from a security company alerting them of the break-in. By the time officers arrived, however, the suspects were gone.

Police said they found a hammer, crowbar and blow torch tools used to pull the ATM off the ground. It took roughly 10 to 15 minutes to do the work, SAPD said.

A preliminary police report states multiple suspects used a truck to pull out the drive-thru ATM. The suspects then broke into the ATM, stealing the money drawers and then left the damaged ATM at the scene.

Police say the suspect or suspects took off with a large amount of money, possibly in the thousands of dollars.

Officers searched the location, but were unable to locate anyone. Shortly after arriving, an abandoned, stolen truck was found in the surrounding area.

Investigators say they will now be looking at surveillance video for additional clues. They say the burglary was done in an area that is not traveled often that early in the morning, making for a good getaway, with few if any, witnesses.
