Some alleged culprits turned to heavy machinery to carry out their heist … taking a construction backhoe and digging right into the store.<\/p>\n
Check out the wild clip, which reportedly took place Monday morning at an ampm store in Oakland, CA … the excavation equipment blasts through the wall, with the store’s clerk barely gettin’ out of there before the crooks start the teardown.<\/p>\n

While the shop’s glass was bulletproof, it clearly wasn’t backhoe-proof — after getting the claw through the wall, the machine then goes after the ATM inside. Eventually, the thieves in question chain up the ATM, attached to a truck outside, and make their getaway.<\/p>\n
Store owner Ali Abdulla<\/strong> told ABC7<\/strong> <\/strong>there’s “at least $70,000” worth of damages after the excavation. Ali says he’s frustrated by what happened to his store, and thinks the only way to run a shop in his area these days is to “sleep in your store and stay locked and loaded with an AK-47 and just be ready because the police is not coming on time.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He notes, however, that he isn’t putting the blame on Oakland PD — claiming there simply aren’t enough cops working.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When cops arrived at the scene, the backhoe was still there, but the alleged perps were gone … and OPD’s Burglary Unit is asking for anyone with info to come forward.<\/p>\n
