Thieves break into Huntington Beach barbershop, rip out ATM

An ATM was yanked out of a Huntington Beach barbershop and stolen early Saturday morning.

The robbery was reported at 12:50 a.m. in the 19000 block of Brookhurst Street, Huntington Beach Police Department spokeswoman Jessica Cuchilla said. 

"Upon arrival, officers located a business window shattered and an ATM missing," Cuchilla said. "This investigation is ongoing."

The circumstances were similar to a string of ATM robberies KCAL News reported on Friday in the Inland Empire. The incidents caught on surveillance video showed thieves shattering a window, hooking a line onto an ATM, and pulling it out with a white pickup truck.
