Flock camera led police to the van used in the thefts.
A woman from Pebble Beach and a Seaside man were arrested by Monterey Police after two ATMs were stolen last week, including from a business the same man burglarized four years ago, police said. On Feb. 21, at 3:47 a.m., offcers were called to investigate a burglary at Randazzo’s Wash and Dry on the 2200 block of North Fremont Street. Surveillance video depicts a person driving a van up to the business and throwing a “heavy object” through a glass window, entering the laundromat, and dragging an ATM out. Police said it was loaded into the suspect’s vehicle.
The thief fled the scene before officers arrived. The next morning, though, a passerby walking near Asilomar Beach discovered the stolen ATM, which had been cut and
forced open and the cash removed. On Feb. 24, at 4:13 a.m., Pacific Grove Police were called to a burglary at The Grove Laundry, a laundromat on Forest Avenue. A suspect driving a van that appeared to be the same one in the Monterey burglary pulled up to the back of the business and threw an object through a glass door before entering.On Feb. 26, Monterey Police, with help from Pacific Grove and Seaside police, issued a search warrant on the 1800 block of Luzern Street in Seaside and detained Sage Keller, 23, of Seaside, and Pebble Beach resident Julia Spears, 26. Keller — who was convicted in 2021 of burglarizing the same PG. laundromat — was arrested on suspicion of burglary, possession of burglary tools, being a felon in
possession of a firearm, drugs, an assault rifle, ammunition and a large capacity rifle magazine.
