VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — Vancouver Police say a minivan driver used his vehicle as both a tool and a getaway car in the theft of an automatic teller machine from a bowling alley early Monday.

The Columbian reports a man drove a minivan drove through the glass doors of Allen’s Crosley Lanes at about 3 a.m. and crashed into the ATM.

Surveillance footage of the robbery shows a person then jumping out of the van, grabbing the ATM, hoisting it into the vehicle and driving off.

Sgt. Wayne Reynolds says damage to the building was “in the thousands.” There was an unknown amount of cash in the ATM.
