Video released in failed Nationals Park ATM theft

WASHINGTON — D.C. police have released surveillance video following a foolhardy Friday attempt to haul away an ATM from Nationals Park — and they’re asking for the public’s help.

Both Metro police and the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force are seeking to identify two people and a vehicle of interest in the brazen effort.

Video below:

The attempted cash machine heist happened around 4:30 a.m. Friday.

The suspects allegedly used a stolen U-Haul to ram the ATM and abandoned it when an alarm at the stadium went off. The U-Haul truck was left sitting in middle of N Street.

Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said stadium security confronted the thieves.

Police ask that anyone who has information regarding this case should call police at 202-727-9099. Information may be submitted to the TEXT TIP LINE by sending a text message to 50411. Crime Solvers of Washington, D.C. currently offers a reward of up to $1,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and indictment of the person or persons responsible for any crime committed in the District of Columbia.
