Berkeley Liquor Store A Mess After Smash-And-Grab

BERKELEY (CBS SF) -- With a jolt like an earthquake, a pickup truck backed into the Pic-n-Pac at the corner of San Pablo and Gilman in Berkeley.

Berkeley police Officer Byron White said the suspects tried to steal the ATM machines inside.

"Tried" is the operative word, as it appears that the machines were too heavy for them. Undeterred, the truck slammed into the store again 30 seconds later.

In the video surveillance footage, the suspects appear to try to pick up the ATM, but it was just too heavy for them and they got away empty handed.

What was left, besides the ATM machine, was a mess. Top shelf liquor bottles were broken on the floor and a gaping hole through the door and side of the building resulted.

The door, the windows, the shelves, the booze and the ATM are all gone now. The owner decided to remove the ATM machines in hopes that his business won't get turned into a drive through again.
