Louisiana Authorities Investigating July 22 ATM Theft, Asking for Assistance from the Public

Baton Rouge, Louisiana – On July 22, 2022, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office Uniform Patrol, along with Armed Robbery and Burglary Detectives, responded to 1542 Jefferson Hwy. in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for a business burglary. There was a glass break alarm at the above business, so an alarm was called in. When EBRSO arrived on the scene, the front of the building was severely damaged, and an ATM machine was missing.

At approximately 1:30 a.m., surveillance footage showed a black Chevrolet Silverado equipped with a camper shell backing up to the storefront. Once at the window, two suspects exit (while the third drives), and the one with the sledgehammer smashes the front glass. After shattering the glass, the second suspect attaches a tow strap to the ATM and pulls it out of the store. After that, all three suspects load the ATM into the back of the vehicle and flee the scene.

If you have any information about the aforementioned incident, please call the EBRSO Armed Robbery and Burglary Division at 225-389-5064 or Capital Region Crime Stoppers at 344-STOP.
