CHICAGO - Chicago police are investigating a string of smash-and-grab burglaries targeting ATMs across several neighborhoods this summer—and they’re asking for the public’s help identifying those responsible.

What we know:

Since June 2, at least 18 ATM thefts have been reported in neighborhoods spanning the West, Northwest, Near North and Near West sides.

Investigators say the crimes follow a similar pattern: a group of two to five people arrives at a business in a stolen or rented SUV. They then use an object to break a window or a prying tool to gain access through a door.

The suspects then either pry open an ATM or load it into a waiting vehicle before driving off.
