Two men stole an ATM from the wall outside of a New York City bodega in what some fear is a growing trend, according to reports. The suspects were reported early Friday morning as they were in the middle of prying the ATM free outside of the Yankee Deli on Avenue C in the East Village, ABC 7 reported. The driver pulled down most of the bodega wall along with the ATM as he tried to pull it free. Fernando Mateo of the United Bodegas of America told the New York Post that the industry is seeing an increase in similar ATM thefts. “We have had enough and the Mayor must respond, what’ s going on in the City?”The NYPD did not immediately release data on how many such robberies have happened, the Post reported.
