BROOKFIELD, Wis.–Given the police department is located just on the other side of a parking lot from a credit union, police responded in record time to an attempt to steal an ATM and have made arrests.
The town of Brookfield Police Department arrested three suspects in the attempted ATM theft at the Landmark Credit Union on Bluemound Road, near Janacek Road, according to WISN.
The news outlet reported that News Chopper 12 spotted a pick-up truck with a yellow strap or cord attached to the ATM. There is also damage to the front of the ATM, WISN reported.
Police responded to the credit union around 3 a.m.
“The town of Brookfield Police Department was on scene within seconds, actually observing some of the crime because their department is located on the other side of the parking lot,” WISN stated. “With police on their tail, the robbers bailed from the truck and ran. Police said they eventually caught up with the men and took them into custody.”
‘Never Seen Anything Like It’
Arrested were two 25-year-olds and a 36-year-old. They also told WISN 12 News that someone had stolen the truck in Milwaukee.
Dean Madden, who works for a neighboring business, told WISN he's never seen anything like it there.
"Kind of shows the society that we live in today," Madden was quoted as saying. "Stupid is as stupid does."
