A description of the suspect(s) wasn’t immediately made available.

Back on December 22, 2024, suspects used a large piece of construction equipment to steal a drive-through ATM from a Wells Fargo Bank, located along the 500 block of Sinclair Lane in northeast Baltimore. The suspects fled the area after loading the ATM onto a trailer that was attached to a U-Haul box truck, police said.

The August 16 incident remains under investigation.
