        Bedford police along with several other law enforcement agencies are actively searching for a robbery suspect.
        Police officials say a neighbor heard a loud noise coming from the Mobil gas station at the corner of Route 172 and Pound Ridge Road around 3:30 a.m. and called police.
        A patrol unit in the area quickly arrived at the Mobil to find two suspects trying to break into an ATM using a sledgehammer.
        The ATM is located outside the Mobil station's convenience store, which was closed at the time.
        The 2 suspects took off running, but officers were able to catch one and take that suspect into custody.
        The other ran off into the woods.
        Police, including K-9 units, are currently searching for that person. Investigators tell News12 they are confident the second suspect will be captured soon and that there is no danger to people in the area.
