Suspect arrested in ATM theft at Brentwood Bank of America
BRENTWOOD, Calif. - Authorities arrested a man they say was behind a brazen robbery of an ATM at a Brentwood bank Thursday morning.
Police arrested 34-year-old Kevin Monge of San Jose after an ATM safe was forcibly removed from Bank of America in the 6200 block of Lone Tree Way.
The backstory
Officials said Brentwood officers were sent to the 5100 block of Heidorn Ranch Road over reports of a "suspicious circumstance" involving people and a Jeep along the Highway 4 corridor.
When officers arrived, the suspects fled in the Jeep. Officers soon learned an ATM had been stolen from the bank and that the physical cash box was dragged along the Highway 4 corridor where officers were first dispatched.
Shortly after, they received a call about a car matching the description in the Deer Ridge area.
Officers with the Antioch Police Department and the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office helped establish a perimeter. During their search, the San Jose suspect was found hiding in a bush and arrested.
The 34-year-old was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility and is facing grand theft and other related charges.
What we don't know
Officials didn't specify how many suspects are believed to be involved in the theft.
It's unclear if the other suspects made off with the ATM and its contents. No other arrests were made.

Fact Check: Don't fall for old footage showing burning police cars in Los Angeles
Claim: A video authentically showed burning, graffitied police cars during protests in Los Angeles in June 2025. Rating: Context: The footage showed protests in LA following the death of George Floyd in May 2020 — not June 2025 protests over immigration enforcement actions. In June 2025, as immigration enforcement actions sparked protests in Los Angeles, a claim (archived) circulated that a video authentically showed burning, graffitied police cars during protests in the city in June 2025. (X user @DramaAlert) One X user posted the footage on June 8, 2025, captioned "Absolute CHAOS in Los Angeles right now…" The footage circulated widely on X (archived) but also appeared on Facebook (archived). However, the footage claiming to show protests in June 2025 was miscaptioned. Though the footage was authentic and showed protests in LA, it originally featured in news reports on protests following the death of George Floyd in May 2020. The police vehicles seen in the footage can be identified by their roof numbers that corresponded to 2020, not 2025 footage. A snippet of the footage appeared in an NBC News report from May 31, 2020, at time code 0:35. The footage showed cars 504 and 658, which also appeared in the footage circulating in June 2025. Car 504 had its hood open and Car 658 was on fire — identical features to the June 2025 footage. An NBC picture gallery from the same May 2020 date also featured a screenshot from the footage (Image 42) that again featured cars 504 and 658. The image gallery credited the footage to NBC4 and Telemundo 52. Though this exact video didn't show protests in 2025, pictures from the reputable photo agency Getty Images showed a similar lineup of police cars near a motorway overpass during protests over immigration enforcement actions in LA in June 2025. According to a report from The Associated Press, protesters threw "chunks of concrete, rocks, electric scooters and fireworks" at officers and vehicles parked on the closed U.S. Highway 101 as officers ran for cover. This isn't the only miscaptioned footage purportedly showing burning cars during the June 2025 LA protests we've fact-checked. We also looked into a different video that allegedly showed demonstrators setting fire to a Jeep. "Damaged Law Enforcement Vehicles in Los Angeles, California, US, On..."

Fact Check: Video doesn't show people setting Jeep on fire during LA protests
Claim: A video authentically showed people setting a Jeep on fire during June 2025 protests in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement. Rating: Context: While the video of people setting fire to a Jeep in Los Angeles is real, it was not filmed during the June 2025 immigration protests. The video was taken in March 2024 during a street takeover in Los Angeles' Hyde Park neighborhood. In June 2025, a video circulated on X claiming to show people in Los Angeles dousing a Jeep with gasoline and lighting it on fire. The video was shared as thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in Los Angeles to protest immigration raids led by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. The footage appeared in a popular X post (archived) that read, "OVERNIGHT IN LA: Low IQ Illegal Aliens light themselves on FIRE after dousing Jeep with gasoline and lighting it. Do you feel bad for these guys?" (X user @OcrazioCornPop) The claim also appeared elsewhere on (archived) X (archived). However, the video was miscaptioned. While the footage is authentic and was captured in Los Angeles, it does not show people dousing a Jeep in gasoline and setting it on fire amid the June 2025 protests. It was taken in March 2024 during an unrelated street takeover in Los Angeles. Using InVid to isolate keyframes of the viral video and RevEye to conduct a reverse image search, Snopes traced the footage back to the March 2024 incident. The reverse image search led us to a Daily Mail article published on March 15, 2024. The article included screenshots from a video that showed a Jeep doused in gasoline and set on fire during a street takeover in Los Angeles' Hyde Park neighborhood. The Daily Mail credited the footage to a TikTok user. Snopes found an Instagram account with the same username that shared the footage of a Jeep set on fire in a post on March 9, 2024. We also conducted a Google search using details from the Daily Mail article to find further reporting on the incident. That led us to an article published by Los Angeles news station KABC on March 12, 2024, that includes footage of the incident. The video in the KABC article and on TikTok appear to be captured from a different angle than the footage shared in June 2025, but the videos clearly show the same incident. The person pouring the gasoline on the Jeep is wearing the same beanie and red coat in the KABC and TikTok videos and the footage shared in June 2025. A street sign for 63rd Street also is visible in all of the videos. Though Snopes could not verify the source of the video circulating on X in June 2025, there was enough evidence to show it was filmed before the 2025 protests in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department said the street takeover where the video was captured occurred at the intersection of 63rd Street and Crenshaw Boulevard in the early hours of March 9, 2024, according to KABC. Police said about 50 cars were involved in the street takeover and the crowd was already dispersing when officers arrived. Snopes reached out to the LAPD for additional information about the video and incident, and is awaiting a response. While the video of the Jeep is miscaptioned, protesters did set self-driving cars on fire during June 2025 clashes with federal immigration authorities in Los Angeles, The Associated Press reported.
