A pair of men escaped officers trying to catch them for trying to tear an ATM out of a bank in Hingham, Massachusetts, early Friday morning, police said.
The men ran off after abandoning their Cadillac pickup truck behind a home, according to Hingham police. They shared photos of the white 2007 Escalade EXT parked on a home's patio, between a grill, deck chairs and a picnic table.
Police also shared a picture of the damaged drive-up ATM at the Bank of America on Sgt. William B. Terry Drive. The would-be thieves didn't end up taking any money from the machine — the target of break-ins two other times in the last three years — but did damage it.
The incident was reported about 3:43 a.m., when an alarm company said two men had fixed a chain onto the ATM, according to police. Officers arriving at the bank spotted the men jump into the SUV and drive off on Route 3A east.
