According to police, a Jeep crashed into the building, and three men got out of another vehicle, went inside, removed the ATM, and loaded it into a black SUV.

I have no idea how long these guys planned this, but crashing a Jeep into a building and having another vehicle ready to haul away an ATM is one heckuva coordinated effort.

Thankfully, no one was injured, and detectives are trying to figure out what just happened.

As for the Jeep, I reached out for comment, but it declined to say much about the incident. It did, however, wonder why anyone would go through all that trouble just to avoid an ATM withdrawal fee.
