An alarm was triggered at the ATM located outside Nebraska Bank on 3rd Street in Alliance on Sunday morning.
Alliance Police say responding officers, who were aware of similar incidents at ATMs in the Panhandle, quickly reviewed the surveillance footage from the scene. The suspect can be seen trying to forcibly open the ATM. They were driving a dark navy 2013-2015 Honda Civic.
At 9:40 a.m. officers located the suspect vehicle traveling on Kansas Street near Highway 385. There were two individuals inside the vehicle when it was spotted. The vehicle was located in the J&C RV Park abandoned shortly after. There were no suspects in the vehicle or the immediate area.
In response, officers established a perimeter around the area and called for additional support. Deputies from the Box Butte County Sheriff’s Office, Troopers from the Nebraska State Patrol, Game Wardens with the Nebraska Game and Parks, Special Agents with BNSF and Deputies from Scottsbluff County assisted in the search. A tracker dog, drones, and four-wheelers were deployed to search the surrounding fields near Kansas and Highway 385.
Despite extensive efforts, the suspect remains at large. Officers are actively engaging with local businesses to gather any security footage that may provide additional leads.
The investigation is ongoing, and Alliance Police urge anyone with information regarding this incident to contact the Alliance Police Department at 308-762-4955.
