Kingston Avenue ATM Robbed
Thousands of dollars were stolen out of an ATM on Kingston Avenue last night. The incident took place at the intersection of Kingston Avenue and Crown Street, in front of Post Mark-it, where the ATM which has been there for nearly a year was pried open and its contents emptied.
The ATM is independently owned by a local Lubavitcher who told CrownHeights.info that there was a “few thousand” in the machine, and that he will be making a police report.
It appeared that perhaps a vehicle was used to pull apart the ATM which came apart from the metal gate it was welded to.
Apparently the incident was not captured on any surveillance cameras.

thats crown heights my friends!
At least i am thinking!
Why would anyone in their right mind leave an ATM in the middle of this jungle (crown heights)? You got to be out of your mind? Any brains involved?

Just past by yesterday and was thinking.
Wow. On my way yesterday evening past that ATM I was thinking that this is asking for it and boy was I right. Unreal….
awacs
Perhaps, spiritually, the robbery is connected with last months’ petition drive?
Its a BROKEN ATM from before
As far as i know, this ATM maxhine is broken.
Its says I took out $100 dollars, however ONLY $60 cash came out of the machine!!!
I complained, but they dont do anything about it, so just warning you guyz, these are crappy stuff here.
COPS?
Where are the cops?
Yesterday in the rain, they were busy goin up and down crown st. seeing which cars they can give tickets too.
I know...I wasn-t there
“this is a direct outcome from the town hall with increasing police present in ch.”
Thats right, this must have happened while all 5000 residents of Crown Heights were at the meeting.
a ny. resident
wow what a small world
Another one
Isn’t there another one by gumbo? Instead of taking credit cards they tell you can use the ATM outside so they don’t have to pay the credit card charges you do by using the ATM!

SOMEONE SHOULD SELL SECURITY CAMERAS AT WHOLESALE PRICES.
unbelievable, just incredible. Right out there on Kingston with 3 police on every other corner.

I wonder if this will lead to series of these robberies. Kahan’s has had the same (type) machine for a while – and Flash just put one in.
mishenichnas adar….
For a fact, there’s a video surveillance from Apple Drugs around this area – they for sure captured some part of the scene….
But honestly, if ATM machines are that easy to break through and they don’t automatically trigger an alarm – what a waste!
mm
thay shud put ut surveillance cameras
