Thieves steal ATM from taco shop

At least two people rammed a vehicle into a taco shop and stole their ATM.

LOS ANGELES - Surveillance video shows thieves breaking into a taco shop and stealing their ATM.

The incident happened Wednesday morning around 2:20 a.m. at Tacos Michoachan on Chatsworth St. and Sepulveda Blvd. in Mission Hills.

Video shared with FOX 11 shows an SUV backing up to the shop, someone then places a rope around the vehicle and the front door. The car then accelerates forward and the door flies off the shop.

Thieves rip ATM out of Granada Hills taco shop

Thieves used a truck to rip an ATM out of a Granada Hills taco shop. It's the latest case in what seems to be a growing trend.

Two men then enter the shop and proceed to steal the ATM. They placed it in the SUV and drove off.

Police arrived at the scene later and took a burglary report. No description of the suspects was given.

This isn't the first time Tacos Michoachan has been hit.

"It's definitely happened a bunch of times and it's definitely affected business. Every time they do something and break something. I mean, it's a small, family owned business and they have to replace the windows, locks. None of that's cheap," said John Corell a tattoo artist in the plaza.

It's unclear if this crew also stole the ATM from Balboa Market about a week earlier.
