Thieves Smash Gum Ball Machines In Tulsa Burglary

Police says two men broke into a Tulsa Family Dollar store early Wednesday and tried to steal money out of some gum ball machines.

Officers say someone called police at around 4 a.m. after finding the front door window broken.

The store is located in the 800 block of North Sheridan just north of I-244.

Police say surveillance video from the store shows two men, one of whom was riding a bicycle, breaking the front door glass with a sledge hammer and unlocking the door.

Officers say the video shows the pair stealing some gum ball machines. Those gum ball machines were found broken open behind the store.

Tulsa Police are searching for 2 men they say broke into this N Sheridan Family Dollar this AM with a sledge hammer. Officers tell me the two are also responsible for a string of car burglaries in the area. Get this-officers tell me the two dragged a gum ball machine out back...

Police say the pair then re-enter the store, stealing some Bluetooth speakers and candy before eventually running off.
