    Bentonville, AR (KFSM) — The Bentonville Police Department responded to an ATM alarm at First National Bank located at 300 SE Walton Blvd.

This happened at around 4:21 a.m this morning (July 3). Later in the morning at around 7:18 a.m., the same ATM was missing entirely.

The person or persons responsible for this used a telescopic forklift to break the ATM loose and remove it. The telescopic forklift was stolen from a nearby construction site.

With the assistance of the Rogers Police Department and the local FBI Field Office, critical pieces of evidence are being collected.
