Police investigate ATM stolen from 7-Eleven on Lincolnia Road

The Alexandria Police Department is investigating the theft of an ATM stolen from the 7-Eleven at 6120 Lincolnia Road in the West End early yesterday morning.

APD was notified of a hold-up alarm in the store at around 2:30 a.m. A store employee called police and said that four male suspects entered the store, that employees were told to keep their heads down, and that the suspect fled in a vehicle, according to the police scanner.

No injuries were reported, according to APD.

There have been a number of ATM thefts in and around Alexandria this year. In November, the Fairfax County Police Department announced it was investigating a series of ATM thefts that occurred near Alexandria. In May, a truck crashed into the CVS in Del Ray and suspects unsuccessfully tried to steal the ATM, followed by a theft from a Del Ray 7-Eleven in June.

Anyone with information on this incident can contact the APD non-emergency number at 703-746-4444. Callers can remain anonymous.
