The suspects fled the scene in a pickup truck that was discovered stolen from Garland, Texas, and later found abandoned in a nearby apartment complex.
Investigators developed several leads from the May 25 break-in, including identifying several suspicious vehicles and determining the methods used to steal the ATMs.
Detectives also learned of numerous smash and grab incidents in the DFW Metroplex, resulting in a multi-jurisdictional investigation involving police from Plano, Coppell, Dallas, Euless, Frisco, Garland and Grapevine.
The Department of Public Safety and the manager of 7-Eleven Zone Asset Protection also assisted in the investigation, which resulted in the arrest of Anthony Dewayne Turner, 29, of Dallas; Cortaveya Jean Jackson, 25, of Mesquite; Danaijay Jacoby Derrett, 24, of Dallas; Dominique Marquis Childress, 27, of Dallas; Joseph George Milton Turner, 29-Dallas; Leroy Alvin Walls, 26, of Dallas; Louis Edward Coleman, 37, of DeSoto; and Marlon Briscoe, 24, of Dallas.
