ANTIOCH, Calif.—Crooks, in a “comedy of errors,” failed to steal an ATM from Delta Schools FCU here.
The CU, on its Facebook page, reported that a group of criminals recently attempted to remove an ATM from the credit union’s branch on Lone Tree Way.
“It was a comedy of errors watching it on the video,” DSFCU President and CEO Rob Greaff told The Antioch Herald after watching the CU’s surveillance camera footage. “They almost ran over one of the guys three times. They were using a Gator-type recreational vehicle using a chain. It was a four-seater with a utility bed on the back. They had been planning this. They had chains, crowbars and even an extra gas can.”
The thieves also broke into the branch and caused more damage with a crowbar.
“They tried to get behind the teller window. But that’s bullet-resistant glass so it didn’t shatter. Then they left,” Greaff stated. “I’m downloading the surveillance camera videos and sharing them with Brentwood and Antioch Police…All they did was damage the entire front of the building after four attempts, and then damaged the inside and left us with a blood sample. They cut themselves on something.”
Greaff told The Antioch Herald cost for repairs has not been determined.
“It makes you feel violated that someone can come in and do this and we know there hasn’t been any support to prosecute in the past,” Greaff added. “We don’t know if it will change. But if they aren’t dealt with, they’ll just keep doing the same.”
The Antioch Herald reported that a local branch of Bank of America recently experienced a similar crime.
