HINGHAM, Mass. — A search is underway for two men who led police officers on a pursuit through Hingham after trying to steal an ATM early Friday morning, law enforcement officials said.
Officers responding to the Bank of America on Sgt. William B. Terry Drive just before 3:45 a.m. for an attempted break-in found two male suspects who had tied a chain around an ATM and attached the chain to their SUV, attempting to drive off with it, according to the Hingham Police Department.
The arriving personnel caused the suspects to jump in the SUV and drive east onto Route 3A.
The ATM was damaged but no cash was taken, according to officials. Police noted that this is the third time this ATM has been broken into over the last three years.
After a short pursuit, police say the SUV drove into the Bradley Park neighborhood where it was abandoned behind a home on Bradley Park Drive.
K9 units from the Weymouth Police Department and the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department searched the area but the men were not located.
Police are asking anyone with information about the attempted theft or anyone with information about the SUV, a white 2007 Cadillac Escalade, to call contact Detective Michael Gervasi at 781-804-2238.
An investigation remains ongoing.
