TYLER POLICE INVESTIGATE ATTEMPTED ATM BURGLARY
Tyler police are investigating the attempted burglary of an ATM overnight at Texas Bank and Trust on Grande.
Police said two men stole a van from a restaurant, drove to the bank, wrapped a chain around the ATM and attempted to pull it out of the ground using the stolen van.
However, in the process the bungling would-be thieves set off an alarm and abandoned their attempt.
