Man Hurt Trying To Steal A Leavenworth-KS ATM



The pursuit of some easy money left a 41-year-old man with a crushed leg early Sunday morning in Leavenworth-KS..


Police- fire & paramedics were called at 2:03am to 506 South 4th Street- where a man was reported "trapped in a Bobcat."

According to police and EMS reports- the suspect stole the Bobcat at a nearby construction site and drove it to the bank on 4th Street where the man used the small bulldozer to steal a bank automatic teller machine (ATM).

The man got the ATM in the Bobcat's scoop- then drove off with it- apparently trying to drop the ATM off a cliff to open it. Instead- the ATM tipped the Bobcat over that "40-foot" drop with the suspect inside.

Firefighters had to extricate the suspect from the crashed Bobcat- the man reportedly suffering a "crushed leg." The suspect was taken to a Leavenworth hospital then flown to a Kansas City-area trauma center.
