Thief uses construction equipment to remove ATM, take cash

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Police say a thief stole construction equipment and used it to remove an Albuquerque ATM.

Deputies say the thief used a front-end loader from a nearby construction site.

Albuquerque police arrested someone from a similar crime in July 2015. They say a man stole a front end loader and attempted to steal an ATM by crashing into it.
