Thieves blowing up, stealing ATMs across Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say thieves are blowing up and stealing ATMs across Philadelphia. Explosions were heard throughout the city overnight as at least ten machines were vandalized, mainly at neighborhood convenience stores and gas stations. Police say the thieves usually set off explosive devices and made off with the cash. In other cases, they would steal just the machines. WPVI-TV reports an ATM was snatched from a mini-mart on West Rockland Street and the windows of a gas station on North Broad Street were smashed before thieves drove off with the ATM. There are no reports of injuries.
