Early morning on Thursday, authorities say, a suspect brandished a solid object and proceeded to smash an ATM's display.

They have pledged to give up to $1,000 as a reward to anyone who brings forward information that could lead to arrest and serve to ultimately indict the person or persons involved in this act of senseless destruction. The MPD has stressed that witnesses should not directly confront the suspect, but rather immediately report their knowledge to the authorities.

Members of the community with any information regarding the suspect's identity or details on the incident are urged to remain circumspect.
