Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - SEVEN Ione ATM robbed Warrenton man new principal at lone Mike Stuart Laurie Rosenbush with damaged ATM machine. A thief not only helped himself to cash at the ATM machine at the lone branch of the Bank of Eastern Oregon last Tuesday, but also incapacitated the machine so that no one else could use it either. The thief used a crowbar to open the machine and took an undisclosed amount of cash. When bank employees arrived at work on Tuesday morning, the doors were open and the cash and cash box missing. "The sad thing is," said lone branch teller Laurie Rosenbush, "is that they've really messed it up for a lot of people. We don't know when we'll haye the service r,n‘jback and people are really used to using the machine." Rosenbush advises BEO lone branch customers to remember that regular hours at the branch are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. She says that customers may also use the BEO ATMs at Heppner, Arlington, Bo ndman and Irrigon. She says that BEO customers may also use the ATM at Lexington, however there is a fee. Linda LaRue, BEO executive vice president, chief operations officer, asks that anyone finding the 10"xl8" metal cash box or anyone with information about the theft to call the Morrow County Sheriffs Office, 676- 5317. LaRue said that the cable to the surveillance camera was cut by the thief.
