Attempted theft of ATM machine is investigated

The investigation into the attempted theft of a Chase Bank ATM machine in Plymouth is under  way, according to officials.

Police were dispatched to the Ann Arbor Road location just west of Main Street at about 4 a.m. Dec. 20 in response to a mechanical alarm, according to police reports. Responding officers discovered an ATM machine in the drive-through lane which ad been dislodged from the cement and removed.  The machine had been knocked over and had chains attached and may have been dragged.

The machine, however, had apparently not been broken into and the mechanism appeared intact. 

Officers observed a suspect running from a vehicle near the Harvey Street entrance to the bank and later discovered that vehicle had been reported stolen.
