ATM Heist at Abello’s Deli Gets Burglars $1,700 in Cash
|
At least two burglars ripped a hole in the roof of Abello’s Deli at 72 Tokeneke Rd. in the wee hours of Monday, June 8, dragged the ATM machine into a walk-in cooler and ripped it open to get $1,700 in cash. Darien police said the burglary, which was completed by 1 a.m., was well-thought out, although images of the burglars were captured by the store’s surveillance video cameras. The wrecked cash machine was worth even more than the money it held — $2,200. According to police:
The burglars used a ladder the store had in the back of the building to get to the roof, then it probably took them about 45 minutes to rip it open.
