Man accused of using bomb to steal from California ATM connected to international heist crew

The man accused of using a bomb to steal from an ATM at a northern California Target is being linked by investigators to a heist crew that’s allegedly stolen millions.

The theft at the Target in San Ramon happened just before 2:30 a.m. Sunday. It rattled neighbors and got the FBI’s attention.

The Department of Justice announced the suspect was arrested in Orange County, and said he’s the last remaining member of a South American heist crew accused of breaking into banks up and down the West Coast.

Prosecutors say the man detonated an “improvised” explosive to steal from the ATM.
