O’FALLON, Mo. (First Alert 4) – O’Fallon Police are investigating a violent robbery in which three suspects stole $94,370 from an ATM technician servicing a Bank of America ATM.
The incident occurred when the technician was approached by the suspects, who attacked him while he was performing repairs. One suspect threatened to shoot the technician if he did not comply, while the others took the money cassettes containing the cash. The suspects then fled the scene in a vehicle.
Following the robbery, police later pulled over one of the suspects but did not arrest her, as her involvement was not initially clear. However, further investigation led authorities to video footage showing the suspects purchasing clothing used during the robbery at a Walmart in Little Rock, Arkansas. Based on this, police were able to arrest Pharrell Dembry, 19, in connection to the crime.
Authorities believe the three remaining suspects are likely from the Houston, Texas area and are still at large.
The investigation is ongoing.
