Connor Hagan with the FBI told KSLA News;

“Over 90% of the trucks that were stolen and believed to be used in these ATM thefts were stolen in Miller County, Arkansas and Bowie County, Texas. Especially if you are in southwest Arkansas, this is the FBI putting you on notice lock your truck, take the keys out of your truck, make your vehicle a hard target to steal.”

TTPD went on to say that so far any arrests that have taken place associated with these crimes aren't even from our area they are from the Houston area.

Please remember to keep your vehicle doors locked and don't leave the keys in the vehicle.
