Video shows thieves rip out ATM at Brooks’ Sandwich House in NoDa
Brooks’ Sandwich House has been serving burgers and chili cheese dogs from a small red brick building for almost five decades.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – New video shows thieves ripping out an ATM outside of the popular Brooks’ Sandwich House in NoDa.
The restaurant was closed on Monday but has since reopened.
Owner David Brooks said he was alerted to movement by his surveillance system and actually watched live as the thieves hooked chains up to a rental truck early Monday morning.
The thieves then backed the truck up and attached those chains to the ATM. After trying six times, were able to rip the machine right off the base. They then dragged the ATM through the streets, creating a fireball from the friction.
Brooks said they’ve got a replacement due sometime Wednesday and noted that even though the criminals put in a lot of effort, there’s not a lot of payoff.
“It’s being used not only by my customers but people in the NoDa area anyway. So it was basically about empty. So, I hope they had fun. I hope you guys had fun,” Brooks said.
The beloved sandwich shop located on North Brevard Street is known for being cash-only, which is why they have the ATM in the first place.
