King County Sheriff's Office investigating at least 7 ATM thefts so far this year

Multiple ATM thefts have been reported across the Puget Sound region this year. Thieves have been using vehicles to break into the front of the buildings, leaving business owners to clean up the mess and pay for repairs.

"They're in, they're out, they're doing it under the cover of darkness, and then we're left literally picking up the pieces along with our communities,” said King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) Captain Tim Meyer.

Meyer said Wednesday the KCSO is investigating at least seven ATM thefts so far this year. Meyer said thieves used a vehicle to break into the stores in all of the cases the department is investigating. Many of the vehicles used to break into the stores are stolen.

The seven ATM thefts the sheriff’s office is investigating do not include ATM thefts and attempted thefts different departments in King County are investigating.
