July 16, 2013 By Christian Murray

Police are searching for a pair of brazen thieves who entered the Jackson Hole Diner and walked out the door with the ATM.

One of the suspects entered the 69-35 Astoria Boulevard diner at around 4:25 a.m. on Monday, July 8 and removed the ATM machine from inside while the other suspect acted as a lookout, the police said. Both suspects fled in a light-colored Honda CRV.

The cash dispenser was worth about $2,000 and loaded with over $9,000 in cash, according to a police source quoted by the Daily News.

The police are asking anyone with information to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls are confidential.
