KPD Investigating ATM Burglary from Magnolia Avenue Bank

The Knoxville Police Department Property Crimes Unit is investigating after two unknown suspects broke into the ATMs at an area bank and fled in a stolen truck early Sunday morning.

At around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 17, 2022, two ATMs at the ORNL Federal Credit Union at 3634 E. Magnolia Avenue were broken open, and the money drawers had been removed and taken from the ATMs. Further investigation revealed that a green Chevrolet Silverado backed up to the ATM, two men exited the truck and used a chain hooked from the truck to the ATM doors to bust open the ATM. The two suspects were wearing black face masks that covered almost their entire face, black shirts, black pants and bright colored work gloves.

The truck, which was revealed to be stolen from The Palmer apartment complex on Wilson Road, was later found abandoned in the 3500 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. The owner of the truck last reported seeing it at 11 p.m. on April 16.

The pictured individual was one of two suspects involved in the burglary. At this time, neither suspect has been identified.
