There was an early morning report of a stolen ATM from outside Yankee Deli on Avenue C at 11th Street... the thieves ripped down part of the shop's rolldown gate in the process, as these photos via Vinny & O show ...
Police and reporters are on the scene...
Updated:
Apparently Yankee Deli recently refurbished the front of the storefront.
A longtime reader shared this photo...

Owner Jose Collado tells CBS 2 that the robbery caused $10,000 in damage to the deli. The station also has the surveillance video of a van pulling the ATM from the storefront.
The sheer force and violence this took is astounding. What SCUM. Hope there’s video. The 9th precinct and other precincts have Twitter accounts to keep up with the neighborhood Scumminess if anyone’s interested.
ReplyDeleteIt just takes a chain and a truck. Sucks about the gate but those things come down easy. As far as violence, I’d say this is one of the least violent crimes. Rather ppl do this than random street muggings or home invasion
DeleteAgree 💯
DeleteThe thieves caused a lot of damage just to get that ATM machine out. I wonder how much cash is actually held inside of those ATM machines? Does it make all that effort worth it?
ReplyDeleteIf reguarly stocked 10K
DeleteBut people I've spike. To said it wasn't working lately so who knows
Hard to believe there wasn't so much noise that someone couldn't have reported it and have the NYPD arrive in time to catch the creeps.
ReplyDeleteThe amount of violence and crime in our city is astonishing. In only a few short months, things have taken a plunge into darkness and mayhem. I live three blocks away and won't go outside when it becomes dark out. I have lived in this community for ten years and have never seen it this bad. Scary. Please be careful y'all. Hope they catch the scumbags who did this. Imagine walking past this? I would have a heart attack or be shot.
ReplyDeleteReally? I feel totally fine. Granted there are less people out at night, it can feel a little shadier super late.
Deletemore result of the local police doing.... little to nothing, which can be good in general, but... people are getting hurt and robbed and businesses losing business because of their lack of service and working
ReplyDeleteThe NYPD is too busy chasing demonstrators to give an actual F**k about crime in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteBoy, someone sure is fed up with those exhorbatent fees charged by these type of ATMs!!!!
ReplyDeleteProbably some stupid Transformers hookup that went sour.
"Rather ppl do this than random street muggings or home invasion" - what else is this but a mugging, of the people whose store this is, whose money went into upgrading it, who have kept it open all these months so they can survive and help their neighbors? Just because there was no human-on-human violence does not mean that the destruction of their storefront was not an invasion in and of itself.
ReplyDeleteIt's called commercial insurance and it's a thriving industry.
DeleteAgain - not saying it doesn’t suck for the owners just that property damage is better than physical violence. No one got hurt, the atm and store are likely insured. I’ve been mugged and I’ve had very important things destroyed and I definitely preferred the latter by far. Now if only people would hit the chase, bofa, and td atms instead of the bodegas’ we’d really be making progress.
Delete“Victimless Crimes” are never really victimless. Someone is caused a headache and hassle, if only dealing with insurance or property replacement. No doubt. Crime is crime and SCUM is SCUM. Hope it’s a felony and they get nailed, nevertheless.
DeleteThere are 2 9th Precinct offers watching a statue at Tompkins Sq Park 24/7
ReplyDeleteAccording to a study published today by the New School, almost 33% of New Yorkers are unemployed, up from 20% in June, and people are wondering why crime is up? We are in Great Depression level territory for the working class. The police are too busy chasing protestors, protecting their own precincts and disbanding anti-crime units. The City and State appear to be once again cutting costs by dumping mental patients onto the streets. Meanwhile, those who are more affluent are doing just fine. For now.
ReplyDeleteThis all could have been prevented had only:
1) the police not abused their powers by harassing, abusing and killing so many black people in the first place, leading the the explosion of the BLM movement which will only help defund police - Austin, Texas just cut their police budget by 1/3rd, and,
2) the Federal government not completely botched the response to coronavirus. Other countries already have their unemployment rates back in the single digits, while the US national real unemployment rate is over 20%.
Now that the US Senate is on vacation and there is no more money for our cities, small businesses and the unemployed coming out of Washington anytime soon, the poor will get poorer, becoming more desperate and violent, and the affluent will find out what it’s really like to live in that dystopian version of New York City which has long been romanticized by Hollywood movies like Escape From New York, Soylent Green and The Warriors. It turns out that it’s not much fun at all.
The crime and violence and delinquency in the east village these past couple of months have gone up so much , I bet it’s people from other parts of town that come over here to do bad things
ReplyDeleteIT GOT YANKED!
ReplyDeleteJust thank God it’s not a stick up and nobody got hurt. I’m seeing more and more assaults and burglaries around the city. Please be safe and don’t go out at night if not needed.
ReplyDeleteWell said Gojira! And, polls consistently show that people want more and better policing. The vocal minority on this blog not withstanding.
ReplyDeleteWe've never, even once, seen anyone use that ATM. The one in the car service between 10/11 is much more civilized for a variety of reasons.
ReplyDeleteJust like the days of the 80!s all over again
ReplyDeletenew york city is going back to the 70's and 80's and degenerating into a hellhole. i have read articles where all the rich people are fleeing. at least you're not glossing over it. maybe the rents will be go down as a result.
ReplyDeleteAll i can think of is the breaking bad episode where the tweakers stole the ATM machine. Hopefully these crooks end up just like the couple from BB.
ReplyDeleteGojira I would assume that these types of ATMs are covered by insurance and most likely the store damage is too. This is a property crime which , while bad , is definitely not the same as a physical mugging or robbery. At any rate , the handwriting is on the wall , if people can do this and get away clean then I would think about moving out of the "East Village" soon. Rents are going down so move away until the virus threat is over and them move back with much lower rent.
ReplyDeleteAny destruction is sad to see...... On another note, I like their 7 grain hero w. turkey and swiss.
ReplyDeleteAtrocious
ReplyDeleteNot a new tactic. Just unusual in the urban setting. Didn't they see a license plate number on the video?
ReplyDeleteThis is disgusting. The local businesses have enough on their financial plates, the last thing they need are criminals feeling confident enough to waltz on up to an ATM and rip it from the wall with a van. This is the ghost of christmas future, think about this before suggesting the police be defunded.
ReplyDeleteI think the comments regarding why the police aren’t doing more are unfair. Look at what just happened in Chicago. An officer who was fired at by a criminal fired back and that led to looting and rioting. I fear what happens the next time an NYPD officer gets into a skirmish with a criminal. Even if the officer’s response is 100pct justified it seems the public has decided looting and rioting is an appropriate response. We are stuck now between a rock and a hard hard place and the true criminals know that and I fear it’s going to get a lot worse.
ReplyDeleteA night or two after Superstorm Sandy when the street was still blacked out, I saw some guys take a blow torch to the outside ATM at that bodega. A few blocks south on Ave C I found two cops. I told them what I had seen. One said to the other, “Wanna take a walk?” The other shrugged his shoulders and said, “Could be the owners.” They stayed put and did not check it out. I always wondered what happened.
ReplyDeleteYeah and ripping it out didn't make any noise at all.... van pulling it didn't make any noise.... pretty sure there are security cams across the road.
ReplyDeletesame place last year when the fellow on bike got shot, there were witness but such a loud noisy thing happens and all those buildings no one is looking out ??
