The Brentwood Police Department announced an arrest of a San Jose man in connection with a ATM theft.
According to police, on Thursday this morning, Brentwood officers were dispatched to the 5100 block of Heidorn Ranch Road for a report of a suspicious circumstance along the Highway 4 corridor involving individuals associated with a Jeep.
As officers arrived, the suspects fled in the Jeep. Shortly thereafter, it was discovered that a large ATM safe had been forcibly removed and stolen from the Bank of America located on the 6200 block of Lone Tree Way. Evidence indicated the ATM’s cash box had been dragged along the Highway 4 corridor, where officers first responded.
A short time later, Brentwood Dispatch received a call reporting a vehicle matching the suspect description in the Deer Ridge area.
With the assistance of the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office and the Antioch Police Department, a perimeter was quickly established.
During a search of the area, 34-year-old Kevin Monge of San Jose was located hiding in a bush and was safely taken into custody.
Monge was arrested for grand theft and other related charges and transported to the Martinez Detention Facility.
