Brazen bank robbery unfolds in same neighborhood as In-N-Out eatery facing closure due to rampant crime
Brazen thieves were seen dragging an ATM behind a van down an Oakland street during a brazen bank heist caught on camera this week, according to reports.
The shocking incident unfolded just before 7:30 a.m. on Sunday in the Bay Area, less than a mile from an In-N-Out location that is shutting down due to rampant crime in the area.
Authorities say suspects used tools to dislodge a cash machine outside a Bank of America about an hour after another ATM was stolen from a business nearby.
Footage shot by a witness shows the thieves fleeing the scene with the damaged machine in tow amid a shower of sparks.
For location context, this is next to the In-N-Out that is shutting down, which is also next to Shell gas station which was recently named the most dangerous gas station in the United States.

“We just seen guys just yanking on the ATM and that’s when we started recording and they just tied the machine up and just started going down Hegenberger, just west of Hegenberger going toward the airport,” the man who took the video told KTVU.
He says three or four suspects participated in the theft.
A suspect identified as Anthony Pearson was later arrested but authorities believe others remain on the loose, according to the latest available updates.
Just half a mile from the affected Bank of America sits Oakland’s lone In-N-Out fast food restaurant.
The company recently announced the eatery will soon be closed — despite being profitable — citing violent crime and thefts affecting employees and guests, potentially making it the first location to ever be shut down by the wildly-popular West Coast-based chain.
