ATM Stolen, Police Chase Ensues In Anne Arundel: Report

PASADENA, MD — Officers said thieves stole an ATM from a Pasadena convenience store early Friday morning. Police noted that they eventually spotted the suspects, but they couldn't catch up to the speedy getaway car.

Responding officers advised that they heard word of the theft from the Royal Farms, located at 4500 Mountain Road, around 4 a.m. A witness told police she saw a red van driving back and forth slowly on Mountain Road around 3:30 a.m. before she heard a loud bang in the store, an incident report informed.

An officer then spotted a Ford van and a black Ford Taurus heading away from the scene near Mountain Road and Meehling Road, the press release explained. Police wrote that the officer tried to pull the vehicles over, and they both stopped in the roadway.

The driver of the van quickly got in the Taurus, and the sedan sped away, officers reported. Another first responder spotted the duo heading west on Mountain Road near Loblolly Road, but police indicated that they couldn't catch up to the car. The only details shared in the release were that the suspects are two men who were wearing dark clothing and masks at the time.

Investigators mentioned that they found the ATM in the van, which they later learned was stolen from somewhere in Pasadena.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department is still investigating the incident. Detectives asked anybody with information to call (410) 222-6145. Tipsters can stay anonymous by dialing (410) 222-4700.
