SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - After the second break in attempt in two years, The Sub Shop has officially gotten rid of its ATM.

Ozarks First reported on Sept. 30 that someone attempted to steal their ATM by backing their truck through the front wall.

Owner Ethan Seehusen says he knew something needed to be done to stop the recurring break-ins.

"There were a lot of good ideas tossed around on how to deal with this issue," Seehusen said. "From concrete barricades around the building, to bars on the windows, steel reinforced walls. It seemed like the easiest thing to me was just to get rid of the ATM machine."

Even though the ATM is gone, The Sub Shop, located on Seminole Street, is still cash only.

Seehusen says there are other ATMs in other stores, like banks and gas stations, close by.
