ARLINGTON, VA -- Three to four suspects pulled off a brazen heist of an ATM machine after ramming a truck into a storefront in Arlington early Friday morning, police say.

Police were called to the 1100 block of S. George Mason Drive at around 3:32 a.m. on Sept. 7 to a report of a robbery, according to a report from the Arlington County Police Department.

"Upon arrival, it was determined that the employees of a business observed a large pick-up truck back through the storefront, causing damage," the report states.
