MCPHERSON, Kan. — McPherson County Crimestoppers is asking for the public’s help in tracking down three would-be thieves who attempted to withdraw cash from an ATM — the hard way.
According to police, the attempted theft happened on June 29, 2025, when three suspects, disguised in hoodies and hats, tried to break into an ATM. Surveillance footage shows the trio fumbling with tools and prying the machine open, apparently unaware that their entire “heist” was being recorded on multiple cameras.
“Let’s just say the ATM wasn’t impressed — and neither are we,” they said in a Facebook post.
Police described the suspects as male and likely inexperienced in any actual form of ATM theft. Investigators are urging anyone who may recognize the individuals — or knows a roommate, ex, or coworker who suddenly seems flush with cash — to contact Crime Stoppers.
