Police are searching for two men who used an SUV to help steal an ATM in broad daylight Thursday in Downtown Los Angeles.
The incident took place outside MariGold Dresses on Olympic Boulevard and Santee Street.
The shop’s owner said that scared customers watched as the incident unfolded. “We had customers,” Zoila Barrales said. “There was a family here with a little girl.”
Surveillance video showed the thieves backing their vehicle onto a sidewalk next to the entrance of the dress shop.
“A white SUV operated by a masked individual and a subsequent masked passenger pulled the vehicle onto a sidewalk in front of a business and stole an ATM machine in broad daylight about an hour ago,” the Los Angeles Police Department Central Division posted on X at 4:14 p.m.
Police did not provide a description of the suspect, and no injuries were reported.
Anyone with cellphone video or further information was asked to call Central Division Robbery Detectives, call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477, or go to the lacrimestoppers.org website.
