Two stores in Atlanta were targeted by a group of thieves who smashed into their storefronts to steal an ATM. The stores were a Family Dollar and a coin laundry shop, according to a report by Atlanta News First.

The group used a U-Haul truck to slam into the storefronts, causing heavy damage. They removed an ATM in both incidents, but were only able to escape with one machine.

The suspects have yet to be identified and the investigation is ongoing.
