Thieves destroyed the Flavor Brigade ice cream, frozen bananas and Italian ice shop in Oakland, California in order to steal the store's ATM.

Security camera footage caught the incident in which an automobile rammed into the storefront, according to a report by SFIST.

Upon ramming the store, two suspects left the vehicle to clear benches and coolers so the car could get further into the store. They then crashed into the store several more times to dislodge the ATM, which they took from the store.

"Someone drove their car right through the front window to steal the ATM smashing and destroying everything in its path. We lost almost everything. Multiple freezers, the countertop, the product, the wall and floss, windows and register have all been destroyed," the store said in an Instagram post.

A Flavor Brigade fan has published a GoFundMe to help cover repairs for the shop.
