Police responded to an ATM theft at a Boeing Employees Credit Union branch in Seattle. Suspects were using a stolen forklift to break into the branch and ripped two ATMs from the wall, according to a report by Komo News.

Three to four suspects were involved in the incident and they loaded onto an SUV. When police arrived, they abandoned the other ATM and fled in separate vehicles, including the SUV.

It is unclear how much money was in the stolen ATM. The forklift had been stolen from a construction site.

The investigation is ongoing.
