Suspects wanted in attempted ATM heist in Welch

WELCH, W.Va. — Two suspects are wanted by police in McDowell County after they used a stolen vehicle in an attempt to steal an ATM machine from a gas station.

Police said the suspects broke into the Bantam Market over the weekend in Welch, tied a strap around the ATM and pulled it outside through the front of the store. The two used a vehicle they stole from the Town of Gary.

When they realized the ATM was too heavy for them to lift, the pair jumped in the vehicle and left.

The suspects then allegedly drove back to Gary and set the vehicle on fire.
