Man accused of breaking into bank through ATM in Virginia


WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A man is facing charges after police say he broke into a Woodbridge bank through an ATM Saturday night.

According to the Prince William County Police Department, officers were called to the Burke & Herbert Bank located at 14008 Smoketown Road just after 10:45 p.m. after something triggered an alarm. 

When officers arrived, they found a man, later identified as 21-year-old Hector Manuel Diaz-Gonzalez, inside the bank. 

Investigators claim Diaz-Gonzalez damaged an ATM in order to get into the bank. He then allegedly damaged more property inside the building, however, nothing was reported stolen or missing.
