November 3, 2020 - The Center Police Department is once again investigating the vandalism and attempted theft of a local bank automated teller machine (ATM) as of Tuesday, November 3, 2020.
Center Police Department Officers were at the scene of the incident around 5am just off the Center square at Citizens Bank where the ATM had been ripped from the concrete base it was once located on in the drive-through of the bank.
The badly damaged ATM was left nearby at the entrance to the drive-through.
Located behind a car dealership off Houston Street was a red 2000 Ford F-350 with a chain attached to it that apparently had been utilized in the incident. The truck also appeared to have been damaged enough in the attempted theft the would-be thieves left it behind.
It’s unclear at this time if the vandalism resulted in a theft; however, it did appear to have resulted in a great deal of expensive damage.
A similar attempted theft occurred at Shelby Savings Bank on October 17, 2020 just over a block away from Citizens Bank.
This information will be updated once more information is known from the Center Police Department.
