FOX 5 photojournalist Mike Rickard obtained the surveillance video that shows the truck crashing in reverse through the storefront at the Sunoco station on Cherry Hill Road in Calverton just after 1:45 a.m. The impact of the crash broke the glass and damaged the ATM.
Several men dressed in black clothing jumped from the truck and made their way through the debris where they unsuccessfully attempted to move the money machine that appeared to be anchored to the floor.
