Three men stormed into Whalley coffee shop, yanked the machine off a wall and loaded it into an SUV
A crew of masked bandits stole a Bitcoin ATM from Waves Coffee shop at 10777 University Drive in Whalley at 7 a.m. Monday, just after the shop opened for business.
Manager Landa Lumase said the thieves hauled the ATM away in a small SUV.
“They came in with a dolly,” she told the Now-Leader, yanked the machine off the wall, “and just walked out.”
“They timed it perfectly — they came right in when the store just opened.”
Nobody was hurt. “Luckily they didn’t bring any firearms with them either,” Lumase said.
She said police are reviewing surveillance footage.
“They got the footage and what-not, so we’re just waiting on the results.”
