Baton Rouge Police have arrested five people for attempted ATM thefts at Chase Banks in Baton Rouge.
Baton Rouge Police Detectives responded to the Chase Bank, 3554 S. Sherwood Forest Boulevard, today around 2:30am regarding an attempted theft of the ATM. Investigators believe that multiple suspects occupying a stolen red Ford F-250 were responsible. Investigators then learned of another attempted ATM theft occurring at the Chase Bank, 7346 Highland Road.
The suspects, believed to be the same from S. Sherwood Forest, were now occupying a stolen white Ford F-250. As Uniform Patrol officers located the white F-250, the suspects began bailing out of the vehicle fleeing on foot.
With the assistance of Uniform Patrol and K-9, four of the suspects were apprehended around Staring Lane. The fifth suspect was apprehended while driving within the perimeter looking to pick up the others.
Investigators in Baton Rouge believe that these suspects are possibly connected to similar incidents across neighboring parishes. In Lafayette an ATM at a Chase Bank on Johnston Street was destroyed early Sunday.
Spokesperson for the Lafayette Police Department Bridgette Dugas says that a connection between these incidents have not been made, but it is a part of their investigation.
Baton Rouge Police say the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with any information is urged to contact the Burglary Division at 389-3824 or Crime Stoppers at 344-7867.
