Police could see someone walking around the ATM, and, when the lights came back on, police noticed a man standing in front of the ATM. He didn't look like he was doing anything other than waiting for the ATM to start up. Police approached him, and he told them he was trying to get money. Police looked over the ATM and didn't see evidence that it had been tampered with, but as they searched the rear of the machine, they noticed an opened stand-alone fuse box. The man said he hadn't touched or tampered with the fuse box, nor did he see anyone else messing with it.

But later, Dispatch got a technician en route to service the ATM. Police did take the man's information because he happened to be in the area when they arrived on the scene.
