say armed thieves are targeting stand-alone ATMs in the city, and police want the information out as quick as possible to warn the public.Police say one incident happened at the Bank of America stand-alone ATM at the Grocery Outlet on the 3500 block of South 56th Street.
There are also reports of seven different robberies at the Chase Bank stand-alone ATM in the J and C Plaza on the 7000 block of Pacific Avenue. They say the suspects are men in their 20s. Police think the crooks wait in a dark-colored sedan until people take their money out, and then attack. "I’m not certain of injuries at this point, and I don’t know the level of force used, but force or not, it’s scary. It’s got to be very traumatizing for our victims," said Officer Shelbie Boyd with the Tacoma Police."When detectives have a case, and they’re trying to solve it, they try to keep it close to them, so they can get out there and solve it. But in this case, we want the public to know because we want the public safe," she said."That is terrible.
TPD suggests using ATMs that are inside, or going into the bank to stay safe. If that is not possible, they suggest not using the ATM alone, and remaining vigilant.Anyone with information or surveillance pictures or video is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.that I have read and agree
