An ATM containing thousands of dollars in cash was stolen from the Hi-Hat Pancake House in Farmingdale early Tuesday morning, according to a server at the restaurant.
A call came in to the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office at 4:51 a.m. Tuesday reporting that the restaurant, at 380 Maine Ave., had been burglarized, according to emergency dispatch reports.
Kennebec County Sheriff Ken Mason said the suspect or suspects damaged the diner’s door to get inside.
“Once inside the suspect(s) removed a privately owned ATM machine that was bolted to the floor,” Mason said via email Tuesday. “The Sheriff’s Office Detective Division is working on witness statements and gathering other valuable evidence. The investigation is ongoing.”
