BPD: Suspects ran vehicle into Walgreens, stole ATM
Police are searching for at least 12 suspects after an early morning burglary, information from the Beaumont Police Department says.
At approximately 3:50 a.m. Thursday, police responded to a call in regards to a burglary in progress at a Walgreens on East Lucas, BPD said.
A witness said a vehicle backed into the business so that the suspects could enter the store. They also described the two vehicles involved - a white van and a dark colored sedan, the department said.
It was later learned that an ATM had been taken from the Walgreen's, officers said.
Officers were able to locate the white van, but it fled from police. After a short chase the suspects fled on foot in the 7900 block of Gleneagles Dr., police said. The stolen ATM was reportedly found inside the vehicle.
The van was found to have been stolen from Cheddar's.
Surveillance footage lead police to believe there were at least 12 people involved.
