A Walgreens in the Jefferson Park District of Chicago was targeted by a group of three individuals. An employee said the men broke into the store using a crowbar and then attempted to steal an ATM, according to a report by Nadig Newspapers.

During the incident, the suspects used a drill to try to remove the ATM. When their efforts were not successful, they fled the scene in a black sedan. That same evening, an employee of Old National Bank reported that three individuals had attempted to pry open an ATM in a branch drive-thru lane.

There have also been reports of attempted vehicle theft and tool theft in the area. The men have yet to be identified and the investigation is ongoing.
