SEATTLE — A 7-Eleven location in north Seattle was victimized overnight after an attempted crash-and-grab of an ATM.
Employees were on hand clearing away glass and debris in the early hours of Thursday morning at the 7-Eleven location on North 125th Street near the Bitter Lake neighborhood.
Suspects were not able to get away with the ATM, as it was still inside the store when KING 5 arrived on scene. The U-Haul was also abandoned there by the suspects, and it was towed away from the area. The suspects appear to have fled the scene in a different vehicle.
It was not clear whether the U-Haul used in the robbery had been stolen, although this incident follows a common trend around western Washington of using stolen vehicles to crash into businesses to gain entry and quickly make off with products or merchandise.
Just over a week ago, a Redmond pot shop was burglarized after suspects used a stolen KIA to back into the door of the business and steal products.
No suspect information was immediately available.
