FEDERAL WAY, Wash. — Burglars were caught on camera ripping an ATM out of the wall and dragging it away from a Federal Way sports bar. The owners of the bar say they're only the latest ones in the shopping center to get hit.
Around 5 a.m. Monday, at least two men, one in a white truck, smashed into Jersey's Sports Bar. Using a custom-made ring and chain, they wrap it around an ATM machine inside the bar and rip it out before dragging it away.

The general manager of Jersey's Sports Bar is still befuddled on how the burglars were able to do it so fast.
The ATM, the cash inside and the damage done to the front -- are more than this well-known Seahawks get-together bar can handle.
"We have regulars, people know your name. We know your names. It hurts us," said bartender Gail Filarski.
Federal Way police are investigating the case.
Bar owners say that in talking to other business owners, they learned this isn't the first time this has happened.
"When you see the video, someone's gotta recognize them. Hopefully by getting this out there, someone will step up and say, 'Hey! I know these guys!'" Filarski.
