Hillsboro Police say two men are in custody after an attempted ATM burglary Wednesday night. Authorities say the department received an ATM alarm around 7:30 p.m. at Carlinville National Bank on South Main Street. When officers arrived, everything appeared normal. But bank security later discovered the machine had been opened and tampered with.

Bank staff reviewed security images and provided photos of a suspect vehicle. Hillsboro Police entered the description into a nearby license plate reader system, which captured a plate that did not match the vehicle and was believed to be stolen.

The information was shared with surrounding agencies, and a Litchfield Police officer later spotted a matching vehicle at the Mr. Fuel truck stop on Corvette Drive. With help from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, officers arrested one suspect at the scene. A second suspect ran from the area, jumped a fence near RP Lumber, and was eventually found hiding in a warehouse.

Police arrested 24-year-old Erik Frank Cordero Gomez and 33-year-old Jose Salas-Lozada. Both were booked into the Montgomery County Jail on charges of attempted burglary and possession of burglary tools. Gomez also faces a resisting arrest charge. Police say Salas-Lozada was wanted on a federal warrant for aggravated battery to a federal officer.

Both men are believed to be from Venezuela and are in the country without documentation. Hillsboro Police say the investigation is ongoing with help from multiple local, state, and federal agencies.
