In video, a security system shows the moment when a group throws a van against the facade of a store to break into it. In the sequence, three individuals invade the place.
Police reported speaking to ABC 13 Houston that the gang attempted to rob a Bitcoin ATM, but were unsuccessful.
It is also noted that seven suspects have been arrested. The crime is believed to have happened in the early hours of last Friday (26), local time, in the city of Houston.
“The truck hits the entrance of the store and breaks the entire glass front. Then you see a lot of people showing up and entering the store.”pointed to ABC 13 recounting the moment of the invasion.
“It is believed that the suspects tried to rob a Bitcoin ATM, but were unsuccessful because Bitcoin is a digital currency, so there is no real money in these machines.”
The vehicle used in the crime did not belong to any of the individuals in the gang.
The real owner of the stolen truck was notified by police the same morning. In addition to pointing out the damage caused by the collision, he also noted that the group stole several tools that were in the back of his vehicle.
“They totally took me away”noticed the owner of the stolen vehicle used to break into the store and noted that he was unemployed and looking for a job.
The owner of the store where the Bitcoin ATM was located claimed to have received an alert from its security system and rushed to the location.
“Put them in jail please these crazy people they are not safe”he noted, noting that such crimes are already becoming routine.
Finally, although the gang was unable to rob the Bitcoin ATM because such machines work differently from conventional machines, both the truck owner and the shop owner suffered heavy financial losses.
It is estimated that the owner will have to spend $10,000 to rebuild her store entrance.
