Burglars smashed a box truck into a liquor store in Oakland early Wednesday morning and shortly after plowed another vehicle into the front of a bank, police said.

The first incident happened on the 2600 block of 14th Avenue in the city's Highland Park neighborhood. Oakland police said officers responded just before 3:45 a.m. and found that a liquor store had been significantly damaged by a box truck still at the scene.

Police said officers learned that multiple people took several items before fleeing the area in at least one other vehicle. It appeared that an ATM at the business was targeted but it was unclear whether the ATM was stolen.
