LYNWOOD, CA -- Sheriff's deputies are searching Sunday morning for the driver of dump truck who stole an ATM and led them on a chase along the Century (105) Freeway. Deputies were able to follow the truck because of a tracking device on the cash machine, which was taken from a bank in Cerritos, according to media reports.

The truck drove down a freeway embankment and then crashed into parked cars near Flower and State streets before the driver fled on foot, possibly with another suspect, the reports said.
