Make California Post a Preferred Source A suspect accused of stealing money from an ATM was caught on video tossing thousands of dollars out of a SUV window during a police chase in Texas, according to newly released police footage.
The chase happened around 6 p.m. on Sept. 16 in Pearland, Texas.
According to the Pearland Police Department, officers responded to a bank after receiving reports that a masked man “was making multiple transactions using several different cards.”
Police footage captured the driver throwing handfuls of cash out of the window of the moving SUV during the pursuit. Two men then got into another car and drove to a parking lot close by.
Once officers tracked them down, the passenger got out of the vehicle while the driver sped away, leading to a police chase.
