Colorado Springs police identify suspects in ATM theft spree

Colorado Springs Police Department detectives helped identify two people who were wanted in connection with a string of ATM thefts that happened around the turn of 2018.

Thursday morning, detectives searched a Fremont County house with the assistance of the FBI and SWAT teams from Fremont and El Paso counties on a warrant for the thefts, and they also found two vehicles that were stolen from Colorado Springs plus narcotics and firearms. Police said two suspects were identified.

The names of the suspects haven’t been released yet, and CSPD says the investigation is still very active, signifying that the crime spree may go deeper than ATM thefts.

CSPD said the thefts happened in late 2017 and early 2018 but didn’t give a location for the crimes. We asked if the suspects are connected to two ATM thefts in December and January that involved a backhoe ( LINK ) and a front loader ( LINK ), but police didn’t confirm or deny that.

Charges are pending against the suspects. It’s not clear if they’re in custody.
