ATM theft suspect caught on video throws cash out the window during police chase
Police recovered more than $6,000 and said fraud-related charges are still possible after dashcam video showed cash being tossed from the SUV.
On Sept 16 at 6 p.m., Pearland, Texas police responded to an ATM theft involving a masked man; a chase ensued after the driver fled, with the passenger exiting the vehicle.
The incident began when a masked man was seen "making multiple transactions using several different cards and withdrawing large amounts of cash," according to the Pearland Police Department. Two men then entered an SUV to leave the scene.
During the pursuit, dashcam footage captured the driver throwing cash from the moving SUV. Police later recovered more than $6,000 in currency along the route, confirming the theft's scale.
Tarvares Givens and Levon Steven, both of Florida, were arrested following the chase; Givens faces failure to identify, while Steven faces counts of evading arrest and tampering with evidence.
Both men remain in custody at the Brazoria County Jail as the investigation continues. Police are currently pursuing additional fraud-related charges regarding the initial ATM transactions.
