When it comes to crimes related to ATM theft Gainesville Police Department's, Officer Ben Tobias says, “I’m not aware of too many at all, over the past few years at the request of law enforcement and their own personnel have made enhancements by putting mirrors up and surveillance camera at the atm.”
