The Madera County, California Sheriff's Office is on the lookout for a suspect who stole two ATMs in the mountainous region of the county. In one incident, the suspect allegedly used a concrete saw to cut through a metal security cage at the Vass Fork Valero and then wrapped a steel cable around an ATM and ripped it out with a truck, according to a report by Your Central Valley.

The culprit committed the second theft at a Valero gas station ATM in Yosemite Lakes using the same process.

The sheriff is asking the community for help identifying the suspect in the case.
