Des Moines police have ongoing investigations linked to at least 10 ATM burglaries or attempted burglaries since May with thieves making away with more than $20,000, Sgt. Paul Parizek tells Axios.
Why it matters: The thefts may be connected to a national crime spree, including some cases where criminals allegedly learned how to get money from the machines via YouTube videos.
