Unable to remove the machine, the suspects sped away and crashed the truck a short distance from the bank, police said. Despite efforts from officers and K-9s to search the area, they did not immediately find any suspects.
Detectives were following several leads as part of the ongoing investigation, according to the department.
Meanwhile, all the stolen property was recovered at the crash site and returned to its respective owners.
