On Christmas Eve at around 4 a.m., a Wells Fargo ATM was stolen near Kietzke Lane and Neil Road in Reno. The machine was ripped from the ground, pried open, and the money looted from inside.

This came only days after a third ATM was burglarized from the Umpqua Bank in North Reno on Dec. 22, again at 4 a.m. However, the suspects were not able to pry that ATM open, and it's contents remained intact.

Lt. Pattinson said they are confident a connection between the crimes will be established shortly.

Updates to follow.
