Older Car Foils Burglars In ATM Theft
Burglary Suspects Learn Old Car Doesn't Have Enough Juice To Drag ATM Machine From Drug Store

KINGSPORT, Tenn., Sep. 26, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(AP) Two Kingsport men learned that an older Honda Accord didn't have the juice to drag an ATM machine from a drug store in a burglary attempt, police said.

Pablo Ibanez and Keith Tester are accused of breaking a window at a Walgreens pharmacy and trying to use a logging chain to pull the machine outside early Sunday morning.

They were found at their apartment after a witness identified the car used in the unsuccessful attempt.

Police said Ibanez confessed to the crime and also took responsibility for a separate burglary earlier this month. He was charged with two counts of burglary, theft and attempted theft.

Tester was charged with burglary and theft.
