FAYETTE COUNTY, Tenn. (WMC) - The Oakland Police Department is seeking suspects after an ATM was stolen from a bank Monday morning, police said.

A woman called 911 after she arrived at the Bank of Fayette County on Highway 64 and Highway 196 to withdraw money and found the ATM missing from the ground, authorities said.

A second caller reported seeing a truck dragging the ATM down the road at Highway 196 and Donelson Drive, with other vehicles following, police said.
