ORIGINAL
At 4am Thursday morning, an alarm company notified Sabine Parish Dispatch of a burglar alarm at the Bank of Montgomery in the City of Many. The investigation so far revealed, three subjects wearing masks and gloves broke into the ATM at the drive-thru area of the bank. They pried open the doors of the ATM, then used a white Ford F-250 and chain to rip the inside door from the machine.
The truck was reported stolen from Harris County, Texas, Houston area, on Monday, November 9th. The suspects were able to retrieve two money boxes containing an undetermined amount of cash. The Ford truck became stuck in the mud and the three suspects fled on foot across US Hwy 171 towards the railroad tracks. The empty money boxes were recovered near some storage buildings on Sycamore Street. Investigators believe a second vehicle was involved to pick up the suspects. Sabine Parish Sheriff K-9 tracked the suspects, but the scent was lost near the storage buildings. Investigators are reviewing video footage from the bank, as well as local businesses nearby.
If anyone has any information please contact law enforcement. Many Police Department 318-256-5617 is investigating with help from the Sheriff’s Office 318-256-9241.
