Three Suspects Use Excavator to Steal ATM

Three suspects are being sought by Puyallup police after they used a stolen excavator to dismantle an ATM kiosk and steal the cash machine early Saturday morning. The robbery occurred around 8:50 a.m. on East Main Avenue, where witnesses observed the suspects, dressed in ski masks, using the excavator to load the ATM into a black Ford F-350 truck. Law enforcement attempted to pursue the fleeing vehicle, but had to terminate the chase as it drove recklessly into oncoming traffic nearing Sumner city limits. Both the excavator and the pickup truck were confirmed to be stolen, with the excavator taken from a construction site nearby and the truck reported stolen from Kitsap County. Puyallup police are urging anyone with information or surveillance footage from the area to contact them. The investigation remains ongoing as they work to identify the suspects.
