A multi-agency investigation across D.C., Maryland and Virginia into the theft spree was launched earlier this week. Eight 7-Eleven convenience store ATMs were targeted in just one day at stores in D.C., Alexandria, Riverdale, Chillum, Clinton, and College Park.
In two of the incidents, FOX 5 learned that the thieves cut wiring to destroy any video evidence and ended up damaging the store’s entire system.

Rockport Elementary students chosen to help decorate National Christmas Tree in Washington, DC
ROCKPORT, Ind. (WFIE) – Officials with Rockport Elementary say the school has been selected to be part of the 2025 America Celebrates display at the National Tree Lighting in Washington, DC.
They say it’s part of a national program in collaboration with the National Park Service, the National Park Foundation, and the US Department of Education.
Officials say 59 schools created original ornament designs that reflect the culture and landmarks of their home state or territory.
Rockport Elementary’s contributions are now featured in the State Ornaments collection for Indiana.
Officials say each ornament was designed by a student to tell a story of our community and state and celebrate our heritage.
Eighteen ornaments were created to be displayed on the Ellipse in President’s Park in Washington, DC, surrounding the National Christmas Tree during the 2025 lighting ceremony.
“It is a tremendous honor for our students to represent Rockport Elementary on a national stage. Being selected is an experience our students and our whole school community will always remember. We were thrilled to learn that our designs were chosen to represent not only Rockport Elementary and Spencer County, but the entire state of Indiana. The opportunity shines a spotlight on the creativity, hard work, and pride that our students bring to everything they do. I’m so excited to see their art showcased at the national level, said Art teacher, Veralyn Neal.
The public is invited to view the America Celebrates display during the December viewing season, December 6 through January 1, 2026.
