Truck rams through Newton convenience store in theft attempt

July 18, 2017 By Radio Iowa Contributor

The pickup captured by store’s surveillance camera

A pickup slammed through the front entrance of a convenience store in what Newton Police believe was an attempted ATM theft. It happened around 4 a.m. Monday at the West End Sinclair station in Newton.

Police say a truck backed into the front door area, causing extensive damage to the building and knocking the store’s ATM across the floor. A passenger in the truck, wearing a mask, then tried to enter the store. A store clerk was at the cash register just a few feet away and set off an alarm, which encouraged the suspects to flee – empty handed.

Newton Police are looking for a black or dark colored Chevy truck from the late 1990s to 2000s with damage to the tailgate area. The truck has running boards and chrome wheels.
