Campbell man pleads guilty to charges in attempted ATM theft case

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — A Campbell man accused of trying to steal an ATM pleaded guilty to charges in his case on Monday.

Abdliezel Hassen Jr., 30, pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property and attempted grand theft. Mahoning County Court of Common Pleas Judge R. Scott Krichbaum ordered that he be held without bond prior to his sentencing on Aug. 13.

Hassen was found by troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol at an ATM on East Midlothian Boulevard after they were alerted to a van similar to the one Hassen was in that was suspected of being involved in the theft of an ATM in Bristol.

Two men with Hassen managed to run away, reports said.

Reports said a lock on the ATM had been cut and a cutting tool was lying nearby. Reports said Hassen told police that he and the other two men had been involved in several ATM thefts.
