Two Teens Charged in Chicago ATM Burglary Spree

A search warrant turned up stolen ATMs, cash, tools, plus seven guns, prompting a wider probe.

Overview

  • Chicago police charged a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old after Friday's two-hour run of ATM thefts at businesses across multiple neighborhoods.
  • Security video from The Double Urban Tavern in Logan Square shows a window smashed before masked suspects hauled the ATM out through the opening.
  • Police linked the crew to a Lincoln Park break-in about an hour later and to a Little Village hit soon after, with getaways in a dark SUV and a gray Kia sedan.
  • Detectives who executed a search warrant found damaged ATMs, money, a cash register, burglary tools, and vehicle reprogramming devices, plus seven guns with three fully automatic.
  • Officers arrested 18-year-old Avion Moore on felony weapons charges at the home, and investigators say they are pursuing more suspects tied to the spree.
