FARGO, N.D. (KFGO) – Thieves, in at least two cases, using a pickup and a chain have made off with three ATMs in three North Dakota counties in recent weeks.

There was another attempt to jerk a cash machine out of the entrance to a bank in Arthur, ND and a cutting torch was used to break into an ATM in Buffalo, ND.

Cass County County Sheriff Jesse Jahner says investigators from his department, Barnes and LaMoure Counties are working to come up with suspects.

Jahner says state crime bureau agents and Fargo police have also joined the investigation. In Fargo, an A-T-M was stolen from the Biltmore Hotel on main avenue on December 13th.

City View Convenience Store near Litchville, ND was the first business to be hit early last month. A cash machine was pulled out of the building.

Earlier this week, the same thing happened at the Farmer’s Union Convenience Store in Litchville.
