SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police said it is on the lookout for two suspects wanted in connection with a Wednesday morning robbery on the South Side.
SAPD officers were dispatched to a Wells Fargo ATM just before 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in the 800 block of Southwest Military Drive, which is located near Pleasanton Road.

According to an SAPD officer at the scene, three young males, who were all dressed in black, hopped out of a dark-colored Jeep Cherokee, surprised and threatened people working at the ATM. It is unclear if the people working at the ATM were Wells Fargo employees or contractors.
An SAPD spokesperson later told KSAT that there were two male suspects, instead of three.
The males, who did not display a weapon, took cartridges from the ATM and sped away westbound on Southwest Military Drive. It is unknown how much money, if any, was taken from the South Side ATM.
KSAT also learned that objects from the ATM may have been found in a neighborhood near the Wells Fargo ATM.
Upon arrival in the neighborhood, located in the 1000 block of Rayburn Drive, KSAT found at least one SAPD vehicle parked with multiple black-colored objects found in the middle of the road.
Officers have yet to confirm whether the objects are connected to the South Side robbery.
Once the males reached Interstate 35, police said they began traveling northbound on I-35 toward Loop 410. Officers later said they lost track of them in the Loop 410 and Callaghan Road area.
The SAPD officer on scene also told KSAT that those males may be connected to a separate alleged jugging incident at an RBFCU location Wednesday morning on the North Side.
However, the SAPD spokesperson later told KSAT on Wednesday afternoon that no robbery was reported at any RBFCU locations.
Jugging is a form of theft in which criminals wait for people who are withdrawing money from a bank or an ATM, follow them and rob them of that money.
