St. Francisville- A suspect arrested in the theft of about $126,000 from a bank's automatic teller machine June 15 is the ATM technician who "discovered" and reported the theft to bank employees Thursday, Police Chief Scott Ford said. 

Gonzales Police are also looking at a possible connection between the St. Francisville burglary and an April 5 burglary in Gonzales, while Baton Rouge Police reported an attempted break-in of an ATM the night of April 16th.

…Ford said Larry Harrington, 54, 13042 Devall Road, was booked at the West Feliciana Parish Jail early Sunday on one count each of felony theft and simple burglary after his arrest several hours earlier in a traffic stop near his home.
