DALLAS — Dallas police officers stopped a car with an ATM in back in Deep Ellum early Tuesday morning and arrested a suspect.

Police said they saw the suspects steal the cash machine from the Velvet Hookah Bar in the 2700 block of Main Street around 2:30 a.m. An officer followed the car for about a block before making the stop and arrest, police said. Investigators said they also found a gun in the car.

When the officer stopped the car, two of the suspects fled and were still being sought Tuesday morning.

Late night and early morning thefts of ATM machines have become a frequent problem for Dallas police in recent months.
