JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After catching three ATM thieves in the act, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office arrested three men they said are part of a string of similar thefts. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office showed Channel 4 video of an attempted burglary, where one of the robbers didn't know they were being set up by police. One of the trends was that the thieves stole a certain make and model truck first, then moved on to the smash-and-grab. Police arrested Teresa Hughes, Michael Hodges and Robert Beattie. Police also have a warrant out for the arrest of Joseph Ferguson, who they also think was involved in the robberies.
