“One of the males was witnessed getting into a waiting truck.”

Police conducted a traffic stop and arrested the female driver and the suspect passenger. The second man was arrested nearby, where he was caught on foot, police said.

Inside the mall, officers found crowbars and a gas-powered saw. They also learned the contents of the ATM had not been accessed, though the machine was damaged.

All three suspects face several charges that include breaking and entering and wearing a disguise.
