Two ATMs were stolen Monday from businesses on the West Side.

The first burglary happened about 2:40 a.m. in the 1800 block of West Division Street, Chicago police said. The second happened just over an hour later, at 3:50 a.m. in the 5400 block of West Madison Street.

In each incident, three people were able to force their way into the business and steal the ATM, police said.
