Police are warning businesses in the South Side Englewood neighborhood after two ATMs were stolen in the past two weeks.

In each incident, suspects wearing masks and gloves broke into a business and stole an ATM, according to a business alert from Chicago Police.

The first break-in happened in the 6000 block of South Ashland between 8 p.m. Feb. 29 and 8:20 a.m. March 1, police said. The second occurred at 4:23 a.m. March 10 in the 5500 block of South Ashland.

Business owners are encouraged to make sure GPS units are installed in machines and service their video equipment on a regular basis, police said. Anyone with information should call Area South detectives at (312) 747-8273.
