A large black truck repeatedly smashed into the front entrance of the CVS at 415 E. Monroe Avenue early Saturday morning but the would-be thieves failed to get away with their likely target — the store ATM.
The truck drove into the business front-first two times at around 3:40 a.m., the store manager told ALXnow. The manager also said that the ATM was probably the intended target, but it is bolted to the ground and wasn’t taken.
Three suspects in dark clothing got out of the truck after it smashed through the entrance, but they were unable to extricate the ATM, according to Alexandria Police Department dispatches. No arrests were made and the incident remains under investigation.
The truck was damaged in the crashes and left the scene missing part of a wheel well and a side rail, according to an APD dispatch.
Anyone with information on this incident can call the APD non-emergency number t 703-746-4444. Callers can remain anonymous.
