Thieves and car involved in theft of ATM arcata airport

On June 23, 2021, at about 4:08 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the California Redwood Coast – Humboldt County Airport in McKinleyville for the report of a burglary.

Airport employees reported to deputies that upon arrival to the airport, the employees found a front window of the building shattered. Inside, employees discovered an ATM was missing and a vending machine had been vandalized.

Security footage from the airport shows two unknown suspects arrive at the airport in a light-colored Nissan Pathfinder just after 2 a.m. today. The suspects forced entry into the airport, stole the ATM and then fled in the vehicle.

The suspects are described as follows:

  1. Suspect One: A male wearing a dark-colored sweatshirt and pants, a red hat and white shoes.
  2. Suspect Two: A heavy-set male wearing light-colored pants, a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt, a hat and light-colored shoes.

This case is still under investigation.

Anyone with information about this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 268-2539.

Remember, airport security is just theater.

There is no security or any type of employees at ACV that time of night (morning).

How much did they get away with?

With the amount of money that they spent on airport security I really can’t imagine that ACV doesn’t have any outside cameras monitoring traffic coming and going.

There probably will be some cameras installed now anyway.

They could literally have better security with a cell phone taped to the wall with Alfred installed on it. It wouldn’t even need service, just access to WiFi and a charger. It’s an airport. That’s crazy. They should be embarrassed to even ask the public for help identifying these people.

If it was a bank ATM, they’d be dealing with just the FBI. But an ATM at the airport? FBI, FAA, TSA, Homeland Security, HCSO and any other acronyms that want to get involved. Plus, they didn’t take their shoes off.

Were there no alarms going off to wake up the coasties next door (who, by the way, rock!!)?
