Suspect Steals Hillsboro ATM With Tractor And Uhaul
Hillsboro, Oregon – You won’t be getting any cash out of the Wells Fargo drive-thru ATM on Northeast Butler street in Hillsboro today. That’s because someone destroyed it by driving over it with a tractor and stole the ATM and cash. Sgt. Eric Bunday with Hillsboro Police says it happened just before 2:15am this morning. The suspects fled in a U-haul truck. Officers found them a short time later. They led police on a high speed chase but it got too dangerous and police had to back off. They found the U-haul a short time later ditched in a parking lot. No suspects have been caught yet.
