A recent crime spree in New York City has left at least 49 businesses robbed by a group of thieves targeting small business owners. The United Bodegas of America (UBA) trade group has reported that the thieves have been stealing ATMs by yanking them out of the ground with vans and tow chains or carrying them out of stores by hand.
The NYPD believes the thieves are a group of three individuals using stolen cars to conduct the crimes, which have been reported in at least 25 of the city's precincts. The UBA is offering a $5,000 bounty on the bandits responsible for these thefts.
