GREENFIELD — More than $100,000 was stolen from the “ATM Tree” in the Big Y plaza early Friday morning in a robbery that Police Chief Todd Dodge said was likely not performed by amateurs.
“We can expect at this point that the individuals who were responsible for this clearly knew what they were doing,” Dodge said in a phone interview on Monday. “They were in and out within minutes and they got away with a significant amount of money. They stole a car in town, which was the truck used to pull the front off of this ATM, and it looks like the people involved have traveled all over the eastern seaboard, including by air.”
Local police responded within minutes of receiving reports that the ATM’s alarm went off at approximately 3:03 a.m. on Friday. Upon arrival, Dodge said officers saw a large Ford pickup truck with its engine running next to the ATM. The machine’s front end had been pulled off, exposing the area where cash had been stored only days before. No one was inside the truck when police arrived.
