Bad Guys Make Another ATM Withdrawal in Mission Viejo

They didn't withdraw money from an ATM, but withdrew the ATM from the drug store it was in (from Mission Viejo Dispatch):

Four African American males used a black Chevrolet pickup truck and cable to jerk the front doors off the CVS Drug Store at Trabuco and Alicia at about 5 this morning. They then used the cable to pull the ATM machine loose.

Sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino told the Dispatch an off-duty deputy spotted the theft in progress while driving to work. He followed the vehicle in the early morning darkness, but the suspects turned off their vehicle lights at times attempting to elude him. Black-and-whites joined and a two hour chase ensued through Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita and Ladera Ranch, then down Crown Valley to the freeway.

The Highway Patrol picked up the chase on the southbound I-5, finally stopping the stolen pickup truck with a tire puncture strip at Carlsbad. The spikes forced the truck onto its rims, sparks flying. The chase ended near Palomar Airport Road exit, closing the south I-5 for a period of time.

The ATM was recovered. Two suspects were apprehended, but two had escaped. Deputies are unsure where the two exited the pickup, but it could have been during the pre-dawn darkness.

This is becoming quite an epidemic around here. Back in March an ATM from my bank was pulled out of a Der Wienerschnitzel near here.

I wonder if these are the same guys? Look for mustard stains.
