It's March 29th. This is Dallas News Today, your AI-powered local news. Three suspects got pinched last week for hundreds of car and ATM break-ins hitting the DFW area hard. Aaron Alex, 26 from Dallas, Bronya Freeman, 24 from Dallas, and J. Jones, 28 from Lancaster, all tied to that viral. Christmas Eve, ATM's Smash and Grab in White Settlement. It went down December 24th at 3.44 a.m. when they used a stolen GMC Yukon to yank the machine right out of a gas station. Surray lens copped him smashing the door, hooking up a cable, and peeling out with it in tow. Damage was everywhere. Doors wrecked, windows shattered, store trash with debris all over the lot. But as they sped west on the Interstate 30 Service Road, the ATM broke free and landed in a culvert near a dealership, safe, still locked tight. Cops ran a five-month probe, teaming up with agencies across North Texas to link these three to the whole burglary spree rocking the Metroplex.

Now they're locked up in Tarrant County, jail, and this hall could put a real dent in the crime wave rolling through DFW Streets.
