ATM Thieves Lose Machine When They Drag It Back Past Credit Union In Front Of Police: Suspects attached a chain to an ATM at a Lakewood credit union in Tacoma, Washington on Friday and pulled it out of the wall with a truck, driving away with it dragging behind them. While officers were on the scene a short while later they heard a loud sound, which turned out to be the suspects driving past the credit union with the ATM still dragging behind them…until they made a turn and the ATM fell off the truck; the suspects then sideswiped a vehicle and drove away. Police were able to get their tag number, but were unable to follow the criminals due to current state law.
