STOCKTON — A family-owned business in Stockton is repairing damages after a vehicle smashed into the store and suspects took an ATM.
The smash and dash happened overnight Saturday, in the early morning hours. Three cars pulled into the parking lot of the Circle K on Country Club Boulevard. It’s normal for vehicles to pull in at all hours because the store is open 24 hours, but around 3:30 a.m. on Saturday, five suspects targeted the business for its ATM inside.
One of the vehicles backed into the Circle K, shattering the glass door and sending it into the middle of the mini-mart while ripping our electrical wires and the ATM itself.
The driver of the car drove back out of the store and at least three suspects are seen on surveillance footage lifting the ATM off the ground and carrying it to a second car, waiting in the parking lot.
The store owner, Nick Singh, told CBS13 the incident lasted 60 seconds but the damage will cost him at least $50,000.
