Wanted: a pair of thieves who make off with money machines in stolen golf carts. So far, four ATMs in the Fresno area have been hit, and police think the same crooks are responsible.
The latest incident happened early Monday at Fig Garden Golf Club on the 7700 block of North Van Ness Boulevard. Sheriff's spokesman Chris Curtice said a person arriving for work at the golf club heard an alarm and then saw the thieves fleeing down a fairway in a golf cart.
Deputies later discovered that the two had used an all-terrain vehicle to pull the top off the ATM. The suspects fled before they could get any cash.
Fresno police also are on the trail. On March 7, two men stole an ATM from Blackbeard's entertainment center on the 4000 block of North Chestnut Avenue, Sgt. Mark Hudson said. The thieves apparently made off with the machine in a golf cart taken from Fort Washington Golf Course on the 10000 block of North Millbrook Avenue on Feb. 23, while thieves were stealing an ATM there.
The first ATM heist took place on New Year's Day, when thieves used a pickup to smash the windows of the Fast and Easy convenience store on the 6400 block of East Shields Avenue. They tied a tow strap to the ATM and dragged it out of the store, then loaded it into the truck bed.
