North Seattle 7-Eleven left with gaping hole after failed attempt to steal ATM
A convenience store in North Seattle was badly damaged in an overnight smash-and-grab burglary attempt to steal an ATM.
Employees told us it was between 2 or 3 a.m. on Thursday when three suspects used a U-Haul to ram the front of the 7-Eleven at Greenwood Avenue North and North 125th Street. The impact smashed in the two front doors.
When our news crew arrived, the doors were gone, leaving a gaping hole in the storefront.
Inside, the burglars left evidence that they had tried to steal the store’s ATM but were unsuccessful.
A heavy chain connected to a tow strap were still around the machine.
It is not yet known if anything was stolen.
