An audacious theft. An audacious theft.

Police in Arkansas have released a video of a forklift truck approaching a bank and ripping out its ATM machine.

In the early hours of the morning on August 16, CCTV captured a huge CAT forklift truck removing a cash machine from its foundation in front of the First Service Bank.

The ATM was then loaded onto a truck and driven away. Conway Police were called later in the morning as an employee arrived at work and saw the damage to the property and the missing machine.
