Video of stolen ATM inside Poway Rite Aid released

The Poway Sheriff’s office released surveillance video from Monday morning’s ATM heist at Rite Aid in Poway and are seeking help from the public to identify suspects.

The video shows at least five suspects entering the store at 3:15 a.m. after breaking the glass front door at Rite Aid, located at 12666 Poway Road.

“They used one end of a steel cable to secure a stand-alone ATM and tied the other end to a white pickup truck that was parked outside. Once the ATM was secured, the suspects pulled it off its foundation and dragged it out of the store.

The suspects then loaded the ATM onto the bed of the truck and fled the scene,” according to a release issued by the San Diego Sheriff’s department.

The ATM was recovered Monday night at 8:30 by two San Diego police officers in the 5300 block of Bonita Drive in Southeast San Diego, according to the release.

There are no suspects at this time and the vehicle used appears to be a white, mid-1990s, Chevrolet Silverado extended cab pickup with stock tires and a stock chrome rear bumper. No license plate was seen.

Rite Aid was closed Monday due to damage to the store’s front doors, but reopened on Tuesday.
