In a brazen heist that spanned state lines, Arizona and Nevada authorities are on the lookout for a pair of bold thieves who lifted a truck in Nevada only to crash it into an Arizona gas station and pilfer an ATM. As reported by azfamily.com, the stolen truck, initially taken from Mesquite, Nevada, became the unlikely battering ram in Littlefield, an Arizona community where the two suspects slammed into a gas station near Fleet Street off Interstate 15, subsequently hauling away the ATM.
The Mohave County Sheriff's Office broadcasted their plea for help via social media, releasing details that the truck was first stolen in Mesquite which is merely a stone's throw away from the Arizona border, then was seen used in the theft at the Littlefield gas station; the suspects were noted for the boldness of their operations and the Sheriff's Office is urging anyone with information on the whereabouts of the truck or the men to contact them directly at 928-753-0753 or through their toll-free number, 1-800-522-4312, according to information obtained by ABC15.
The ATM didn't stand a chance as the thieves managed to dislodge and load it into the bed of the stolen vehicle quickly disappearing from the crime scene; an act caught on surveillance but nonetheless leaving law enforcement to chase down leads and appeal to the public for assistance.
Details remain sparse as the Sheriff's Office has not released information on how much cash was inside the ATM or a description of the suspects they seek but the essence of their message is clear: anyone with potentially valuable information is encouraged to come forward. The community can report any hint or sighting of the heist or the suspects' whereabouts.
