Man arrested after trying to steal ATM by dragging cash box along Hwy 4 corridor: police

(KRON) — A man was arrested for attempting to steal an ATM early Thursday morning from the Bank of America on Lone Tree Way in Brentwood, the Brentwood Police Department said.

Around 5:30 a.m., officers received a call from a witness who said they saw a driver trying to ram into an ATM, according to BPD. Officers then arrived and saw the suspects drive away in a Jeep. Police later discovered that the ATM safe was forcibly removed — evidence suggesting that the “cash box had been dragged along the Highway 4 corridor.”

The suspect was described to be a 34-year-old San Jose man. He was hiding in a bush in the Deer Ridge area where he was taken into custody. The suspect was arrested for grand theft and taken to the Martinez Detention Facility.

Brentwood police said there is potentially one more suspect at large.

The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office and the Antioch Police Department assisted in the arrest.
