Van Containing Unmarked ATM Keys Stolen in Connecticut

A van containing keys to ATMs across Connecticut has been stolen, leading police to issue a lookout warning.

The unmarked van was stolen from the train station in Bridgeport, Conn. on Wednesday morning. The vehicle, a white 2010 Ford E-150 van, belonged to workers installing an ATM at the train station, according to ABC News Connecticut affiliate WTNH.

The van contained unmarked keys, which are used to access other ATMs throughout the Connecticut.

Authorities said Wednesday that they believe a large amount of cash was inside the van at the time it was stolen, the Connecticut Post reported. Later police said there was no money in the van at the time.

Keys to the van were reportedly not in the ignition at the time of the theft.

Police in Bridgeport have now issued a warning to other police departments to be on the lookout for a stolen van.

It will take them forever to figure out how to open them and in public view will be hard to do. After the ATM is open you still need to figure out how to open the safe.

Paragraph from article: “The van contained unmarked keys, which are used to access other ATMs throughout the Connecticut.”

“ATM Throughout THE Connecticut” Does anyone at ABC News proofread articles before posting?
