Police are investigating after three people attempted to steal an ATM from a gas station in Vernon early Wednesday morning.

Officers responded to the Valero Fast Mart on Talcottville Road around 1:40 a.m.

Investigators said there had been an attempted burglary and it appeared that the suspects had tried to take an ATM in the store.

When they were not able to steal the ATM, they left the area.

According to police, there are three suspects and they left in a blue hatchback-style vehicle.
