Pair of thieves steal ATMs in Bensenville before attempted gas station break-in foiled by Elmhurst police

Two masked thieves' ATM-targeting crime spree ended at a Bensenville gas station when it was foiled by a passing Elmhurst police officer.

The thieves were caught on security cameras and police dashcam video during their overnight activities.

Bensenville police said the pair of burglars first targeted El Toreo Supermarket on Irving Park Road. Images caught by security cameras show them breaking into the storefront. A manager at the supermarket, who didn't want to go on camera, confirmed the store's ATM was taken.

Police said the suspects then tried a similar smash-and-grab burglary at another location not far from the market.

Then, around 2:30 a.m., video from the Marathon Gas Staton in the 600 block of North York Road captured the two masked men get out of a Ford F-150 truck and start smashing the front door of the gas station's convenience store.

After about 40 seconds they get back into the truck and drive away after behind spotted by an Elmhurst police officer in his vehicle.

Dashcam video from the officer captured him pursuing the truck toward I-290, but no arrests were made.

Police say the suspects are still at large.
