TACOMA, Wash. (AP) – Authorities say a suspect has been arrested in connection with a series of ATM explosions in Tacoma, Spanaway and Lacey.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday afternoon on Facebook that a suspect had been arrested after an ATM explosion at a Wells Fargo Bank in Tacoma at about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The sheriff’s office says a Tacoma police officer heard the explosion and that officers found an ATM that had been destroyed.
Several hours later, police in Lacey took a 38-year-old man into custody after a short high-speed chase and use of a police dog.
