Seven individuals allegedly attempted to steal a bitcoin ATM last week at a smoke shop in Houston, Texas. They used a pickup truck to crash through the window and attempted to steal the ATM, but were unsuccessful, according to a report by ABC 13.

Police arrested the seven individuals, who allegedly caused $10,000 worth of damage to the smoke shop. The owner said the thieves have targeted her store before.

"Please put in the jail, these crazy people. They are not safe. Because they do this almost three or four times," the smoke shop owner told the news outlet. "We do hard work and they just do a minute and mess up all things."
