AUSTIN, Texas - The Austin Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying two people they say robbed an ATM outside a Chase Bank in North Austin.
Officers responded to a call about a robbery at the Chase Bank in the 1700 block of W. Parmer Lane just before 2:30 p.m. August 11. Witnesses told officers an ATM technician had been working on the machine when two men got out of their vehicle and ran towards them and the machine.
The two men threatened the technician, then stole cassettes from the machine containing a large sum of cash. The suspects took the money and returned to their vehicle, where a third person had remained in the driver's seat. The vehicle then left the scene at a high rate of speed, says APD.
