Police pull ATM from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor (Photos)

WASHINGTON — Baltimore police responded to an unusual call for service Thursday night — an ATM that tumbled in to the Inner Harbor during intense storms.

On Thursday afternoon, powerful storms swept through the region and blew an ATM from the nearby Light the City event into the water. The department’s marine unit responded later in the evening and pulled it out of the water.

The team of several divers and officers retrieved the ATM, hooked it to a boat and pulled it out of the water, said Detective Jeremy Silbert with the Baltimore police.

He said it’s important to pull out large items in the harbor because if the current changes, it could move and possibly damage boats and piers.

Many don't know this but if you drop your cell phone in the ocean you should NEVER try to plug it in. It will get charged with a salted battery.
