Small town loses its only ATM to thieves

March 22, 2004

BEULAH, Colo. - Burglars broke into the Beulah General Store and stole the small town's only ATM over the March 19 weekend.

According to a KOAAreport, the town's residents are inconvenienced because the nearest bank or alternate retail ATM location is more than half an hour away.

Investigators suspect that the burglars were local residents, according to the report.

The thieves only got away with a few hundred dollars in cash. However, the ATM is valued at several thousand dollars, making the crime a felony.
