On Saturday, July 15, 2023 at approximately 7:30 a.m, Kearney Police Department Officers responded to Heritage Bank located at 315 West 60th Street, regarding a possible theft from the ATM. Responding Officers discovered the ATM machine had been ripped off its foundation in an attempt to steal the cash inside. The cash was accounted for inside the ATM and the suspects were not successful in taking any cash.
While Officers were investigating the scene, additional KPD officers located a 2006 GMC Sierra pickup at Sterling Apartments. Officers contacted the registered owner and it was determined the pickup had been stolen from Grandview Apartments earlier in the night. Evidence at the scene of the stolen pickup indicated the pickup had been used to pull the ATM off its pedestal.
Officers located four additional pickups damaged at Grandview Apartments during the same timeframe the recovered pickup was stolen. The damage to the other four pickups was indicative and consistent with attempts to steal the pickups.
Utilizing the city-wide FLOCK Safety Automated License Plate Reader system and area security cameras, Investigators identified another vehicle and license plate believed to be associated with the attempted ATM theft and theft of the 2006 GMC pickup.
A nationwide search of the FLOCK Safety Automated License Plate Reader system located the same vehicle in Ardmore, Oklahoma on July 13, 2023 when Ardmore Police Department had contact with the vehicle. The vehicle had also been located in Oklahoma City, and Houston, Texas during the same timeframe.
