BROOKLYN — Two thieves managed to yank an ATM machine from the floor of a Checkers restaurant, load it onto a hand cart and steal it — all while the eatery was open, according to police and surveillance footage.

The suspects took the cash dispenser from the fast-food restaurant on Liberty Avenue, near Sheridan Avenue, in East New York Tuesday about 10:20 p.m., police said.

Posted closing hours for the restaurant are 2 a.m. and the footage shows it fully lit.

One suspect appears to be wearing a bucket hat while the other sports a black baseball cap and dark sweatshirt, video shows.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
