The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating the theft of an ATM from a gas station in Fort Washington.

On August 2, 2013 at approximately 3:45 am, patrol officers were called to the Exxon Mobil gas station in the 10800 block of Indian Head Highway for a theft.  Two suspects smashed a dark-colored pickup truck through the front of the gas station and pushed the ATM into the bed of the truck.  The suspects then drove off with the ATM.

Detectives are investigating the possibility this incident is linked with the theft of an ATM which occurred a short time later in the District of Columbia.
